+ifxdeploy.conf File: The Deployment Utility Configuration File

+

The ifxdeploy.conf file is a text-file template in which you can configure an

+

instance snapshot prior to deploying it with the ifxdeploy command.

+

Purpose

 

 

+

The ifxdeploy.conf file is in $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ on Linux and

+

%INFORMIXDIR%\etc on Windows.

 

+

By using the ifxdeploy.conf file, you can run the deployment utility with fewer

+

command-line options to configure the instance. You can save and reuse the file to

+

deploy instances to other locations. The file supports the same functionality as the

+

ifxdeploy command options, but also additional functionality that is useful for

+

embedding IDS when you are deploying a snapshot in multiple locations that

+

require minimal or no modification in instance setup. See “Rapid IDS

+

Embeddability with the Deployment Utility” on page 5-2for a description of the

+

major embeddability features of the ifxdeploy.conf file.

+

Parameters

 

 

+

The ifxdeploy.conf file is value pair based. If there is a parameter with a default

+

value that you want to change, provide the value in an uncommented line.

+

Attention: The values of parameters that are set on the ifxdeploy command line

+

overwrite the values of the same parameters in the ifxdeploy.conf file.

+

The following table explains the parameters in the same order that they appear in

+

the configuration template file.
