Demo database not created installing IDS 10 on Linux

Hi all, Anyone know if there is a special procedure when installing IDS 10 for create the demo database? In the installation guide it is mentioned that a demo database gets created for testing purposes. I succesfully installed IDS 10 as root with: ./installserver -gui But in no point I were asked if wanted a demo database to get installed. I read that in some point (command mode installation) I get asked if want a demo database but in the gui mode installation that question does not appear. I also read that there is a configuration option that states if the demo database gets created or not... but I assume this option is used when installing IDS in silent or legacy mode. Or not? Thanks for any hint. J. Jean Sagi jeansagi@myrealbox.com jeansagi@yahoo.com

Have you tried executing dbaccessdemo command?. That script should be in $INFORMIXDIR/bin. -----Original Message----- From: forum.subscriber@iiug.org [mailto:forum.subscriber@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Jean Sagi Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 11:13 AM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: Demo database not created installing IDS 10 on Linux [4696] Hi all, Anyone know if there is a special procedure when installing IDS 10 for create the demo database?

Umm... I was doing a bad question. In my documentation 1-20 (Spanish) it states that if I decided to configure a demo of IDS then the configuration automatically does it. So I presume what the installation does is to configure an instance wich is supposed to be named "demo_on" which is parametrized with onconfig.demo. This way the databases sysmaster, sysutils and ... the other one gets created... But anything of this happened when I used the gui installation. I surely won't have a demo database but for what I read I should have a configured instace with the system databases created on them. This migth be similar to the windows installation (that I did) when you are asked where o put the database files, if they are mirrored etc. I'll try the command line mode, and to modify some ini's to see what happen.

Hi Jean, Are you installing the so called "bundle" product ? Only this version will ask and setup the demo instance you are looking for... You should be installing using the ids_install script. during the installation you will see the following question: Would you like to create an IDS demo instance? [ ] 1 - Create Demo [X] 2 - Do Not Create Demo To select an item enter its number, or 0 when you are finished: [0] Later in the installation you will get the following question I hope this helps bye Sandor IBM Informix Development Munich "Jean Sagi" <jeansagi@myrealb ox.com> To Sent by: ids@iiug.org forum.subscriber@ cc iiug.org Subject Re: RE: Demo database not created 13.04.2005 00:21 installing IDS 10 on Linux [4699] Umm...

Well I figure that I haven't the "bundle". I'm trying to install the IDS demo downloaded from IBM site. When I decompress the .tar I only get a installserver script not a ids_install. So I think that I have to configure an instance as usual. BTW the silent install really rocks!
