Excalibur Text Search DataBlade® Module installation

Use the Module to search your textual data in ways that are faster and more sophisticated than the keyword matching that SQL provides. Excalibur text search capabilities include phrase matching, exact and fuzzy searches, compensation for misspelling, and synonym matching.

Installing the Excalibur Text Search DataBlade® Module

To install and use the Excalibur Text Search DataBlade® Module in your database:

  1. Log in as the informix user (UNIX™) or as a member of the Informix-Admin group (Windows™).
  2. Go to the directory where the installation file is located and run one of the following installation commands:
    Default console mode
    Windows™
    etx.1.31.xCn.WIN.exe
    UNIX™ or Linux™
    etx.1.31.xCn.platform.bin
    GUI mode
    Windows™
    etx.1.31.xCn.WIN.exe -i gui
    UNIX™ or Linux™
    etx.1.31.xCn.platform.bin -i gui
    Silent mode
    Windows™
    etx.1.31.xCn.WIN.exe -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=true
    UNIX™ or Linux™
    etx.1.31.xCn.platform.bin -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=true

    The x indicates the platform bit size (U is 32-bit UNIX™ or Linux™, T is 32-bit Windows™, and F is 64-bit), the n indicates the fix pack level, and platform is the UNIX™ or Linux™ platform, for example AIX®.

  3. Confirm the location of the installation when prompted; the default location is the directory that is specified by the INFORMIXDIR environment variable. To install in another Informix® instance, specify the top-level directory of that installation.
  4. Complete the installation process.
  5. After installation, read important online notes and product documentation, which are in the $INFORMIXDIR/extend/ETX.1.31.xCn/doc directory.
  6. Make the Excalibur Text Search DataBlade® module available to a database by registering it in that database with BladeManager. Accept the prompts to register the HCL Informix® Large Object Locator DataBlade® Module and the HCL Informix® Text Descriptor DataBlade® Module. For instructions, see the DataBlade® module Installation and Registration Guide.
