The DB_LIBRARY_PATH configuration parameter specifies a comma-separated 4list of valid directory prefix locations from which the database server can 4load external modules, such as DataBlade Modules. You can also include server 4environment variables, such as $INFORMIXDIR.

You must specify paths for external modules exactly as they are registered 4with Dynamic Server. Relative paths or paths that include double periods (..) 4are not valid. External modules in the file systems that are not specified 4by this parameter cannot be loaded. This list is scanned prior to loading 4C language modules.

If you set this parameter, you must also include the string $INFORMIXDIR/extend as part of the value. If the string $INFORMIXDIR/extend is 4not included in DB_LIBRARY_PATH, IBM-supplied DataBlade Modules, the 4BladeManager, Large Object Locator DataBlade module functions, and DataBlade 4modules that you created with the DataBlade Developer's Kit will not load.
