IBM GC23-7753-05 + ifxdeploy.conf File The Deployment Utility Configuration File, Parameters

+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.
