You can extract client product files from the installation media for script-based
redistribution to other computers.
Before you begin
Complete the following prerequisite tasks:
About this task
Use this method if you want to redistribute the client product
files without adding a Java™ runtime environment or an
uninstallation application to multiple host systems. You extract the product files by starting the
installation application with the -DLEGACY=TRUE
command on one computer. After you
run the installation application, copy the files in the installation directory of the first computer
to redistribute the product on other computers.
Procedure
To install client products with a script:
-
Run an installation command:
- Client SDK:
./installclientsdk
-DLEGACY=TRUE
- OneDB®
Connect:
./installconnect
-DLEGACY=TRUE
- Follow the instructions in the installation application.
-
While logged in as the root user, manually
install the Global Security Kit by running the installgskit from the
$INFORMIXDIR/gskit directory.
- Copy the contents of the installation directory and place
them into the directory of another computer where you want to redistribute
the products.
The contents include the RUNasroot scripts
that you use for redistribution.
-
Run the script for the product that you want to deploy on the other computer.
You can deploy either Client SDK or
OneDB
Connect in one location, not both.
Option | Description |
---|
RUNasroot.installclientsdk |
Completes the redistribution of the Client SDK files. |
RUNasroot.installconnect |
Completes the redistribution of the OneDB
Connect files. |
Results
Log files are created during the installation
process. You can use the log files to troubleshoot installation errors.
You can now configure the client environment and connect to the database server.
