Post-Installation Tasks
Set the IDS ONCONFIG File
The installation program updates the ONCONFIG file in the IBM Informixdir\etc
directory so that the agent can operate properly.
Note: If you do not update the ONCONFIG file during installation, you must
use a text editor to manually enter the changes in the ONCONFIG file before
you install and deploy the agent in your network.
Skip this procedure if you modified the ONCONFIG file during installation.
To manually modify the ONCONFIG file
1. Open the ONCONFIG file using Notepad or any text editor.
2. For IDS Versions 9.40, 10.0, and 11.10, insert the following lines in the
ONCONFIG file:
BAR_MAX_BACKUP 1 # Informix Backup Agent
BAR_BSALIB_PATH AGENT_HOME\libbsa.dll #Informix Backup Agent XBSA DLL
where AGENT_HOME is the home directory path of the agent.
Important! For IDS Versions 9.40, 10.0 and 11.10, if your agent home
directory path contains space characters (for example, C:\Program
Files\Informix), you must enter the MS-DOS shortened name when you
specify the path (for example, C:\progra~1\ Informix). To determine the
shortened form of a path name, view the path in an MS DOS command
prompt window.
3. For IDS Versions 9.40, 10.0 and 11.10, replace the following line:
LTAPEDEV NULL #Log tape device_path
with this line:
LTAPEDEV \\.\TAPE1 #Log tape device_path
4. Save the file.
5. Stop and restart all IDS instances to apply the changes to the ONCONFIG
file.
Note: An IDS instance means the concurrent operation of shared memory,
processors, databases, and physical devices allocated to IDS, all of which
can be monitored by the ONSTAT -p (profile) command.
