The Informix SE product does not need "started". The tbinit program is only used with the Informix OnLine Engine products. The following environment variables must be set and exported in order for Informix SE to work correctly: INFORMIXDIR specifies the directory in which the Informix products are loaded. example: INFORMIXDIR=/usr/informix PATH specifies the path to find executables. example: PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin DBPATH specifies the path to the database.dbs directory. example: DBPATH=/usr/db SQLEXEC specifies which engine to use (sqlexec for SE, sqlturbo for OE) example: SQLEXEC=$INFORMIXDIR/lib/sqlexec I hope that this helps. -- Regards, Walter S.
