Where can I get HCL OneDB Explore?

HCL OneDB Explore is available as part of the HCL OneDB database server installation.

For information, see Getting Started.

What should I do before upgrading to the latest version of HCL OneDB Explore?

Before upgrading to the latest version, you must make a backup copy of the H2 database file. This is required in case if you ever want to revert to the previous version.

Where can I find sample configuration files for the server and agent?

Sample configuration files for both the HCL OneDB Explore server and agent are available in the $INFORMIXDIR/hq directory of your Informix database server installation.

For information, see OneDB Explore Server Configuration and OneDB Explore Agent Configuration.

How can I configure the logging for the server or agent? How do I change the logging level?

OneDB Explore uses the logback library for logging. By default, the HCL OneDB Explore server and agent will log messages at INFO level to an HCL OneDB Explore-server.log file and an HCL OneDB Explore-agent.log file respectively.

You can customize the logging behavior by providing a server-logback.xml file in the current directory or classpath when starting the HCL OneDB Explore server or a agent-logback.xml file in the current directory or classpath when starting the HCL OneDB Explore agent. Use these logback configuration files to change the logging level (ERROR, WARN, INFO, or DEBUG), change the log file location, or enable rolling window logging. For more information, see logback and Logging in HCL OneDB Explore.

How do you stop the server and how do you stop the agent?

You can stop both the HCL OneDB Explore server and agent by terminating the java process that is running them.
