The INFORMIX-4GL Version 7.20.UE2 runtime and/or
development kit were both designed to install and run on
OpenServer 5 systems.
OpenServer 6.0.0 has been designed to run OpenServer 5
applications and the INFORMIX-4GL runtime and development
packages are both known to install and run on OpenServer
6.0.0.
To install either the INFORMIX-4GL runtime or development
kit you will need to do the following:
1) Install the SCO OpenServer Development Kit
If you intend to develop Informix applications then you
will need to install the SCO OpenServer Development Kit
before you proceed. The Development Kit is on your SCO
OpenServer 6.0.0 CD1 and is installed
using the Software Manager (custom).
NOTE:
You will require a license to install the OpenServer
Development Kit.
2) Install Openserver 6.0.0 Maintenance Pack 3
You must install OpenServer 6.0.0 Maintenance Pack 3 (MP3)
before you install any Informix product. You can find MP3 and
installation instructions for it at:
http://www.sco.com/support/update/download/release.php?rid=295
and it may also be included in your media kit if you have
a recent version of the OpenServer 6.0.0 media kit.
3) Install the INFORMIX-4GL package
Please read the Installation Guide for your INFORMIX-4GL
package and make sure you observe the "Installation Order"
that is specified. For example, if you are installing the
INFORMIX IDS Server and INFORMIX-4GL then you MUST install
INFORMIX-4GL before the IDS server.
- Login to your OpenServer 6.0.0 machine as root.
- Using the Account Manager, create a new group called
informix
with id >= 100
- Using the Account Manager create new user called
informix
and make the informix group the login group of the
informix user.
- Will will use
/u/informix
as the database installation location.
- Set the Informix environment variables:
INFORMIXDIR=/u/informix
export INFORMIXDIR
PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin
export PATH
- Edited roots and informix's .profile to add these
variables too their profiles.
- As root install the INFORMIX-4GL package as follows:
cd $INFORMIXDIR
copy the INFORMIX-4GL tar archive to this directory. For
the purposes of this example lets assume the archive is
called:
sco_4glrdsrun720ud1.tar
Extract the archive using:
tar xvf sco_4glrdsrun720ud1.tar
./install4gprt
When prompted enter the INFORMIX serial number and key for
your product. This is supplied by Informix.
You should then see a message indicating that your product
has been successfully installed.
