The database server installation program creates the following ISM services that start automatically on system startup:
On Windows, the database server installer automatically initializes ISM. The Service Control Manager automatically starts the ISM server when the computer reboots and stops ISM when the computer shuts down.
You can use a batch file to set up ISM operations with ON–Bar on Windows. This batch file configures two file-type devices to back up logical logs and storage spaces. This configuration allows you to back up logical logs and storage spaces to disk. You must edit the locations for the SM_DISKDEV1 and SM_DISKDEV2 environment variables as needed.
You must be a member of the Informix-Admin group to perform these operations. To open a command window for running ISM commands, select Start > Programs > Informix > ol_servername.
