Base Server

The base server refers to the core database server for basic DBA operations without

optional extensions, libraries, or utilities. The minimum size of the base server

installation is 180 megabytes (MB). Every IBM Informix Dynamic Server

installation includes the components of the base server, regardless of whether you

choose a typical or custom installation.

The base server no longer contains the XML Publishing feature and must be

included in your Deployment Wizard selections if you want to install it. XML

Publishing is in the Database Server Extensions component.

Support for the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) protocol is

included in the Base Server. To use the DRDA support functionality with IBM Data

Server .NET Provider or IBM Data Server JDBC Driver, you must obtain and install

the .NET Provider or JDBC Driver separately.

The IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit) is included as a component of the IDS

installation.
