• Include either the ifxtools.jar or ifxtools_g.jar file in your CLASSPATH setting.
• Create a directory named /usr/informix in the database server, with owner and group set to user informix and permissions set to 777.
• Add the following entry to the /etc/group file in the database server:

  informix::unique-id-number:
