Private Installation
A private installation provides support for users who are developing DataBlade modules and user-defined routines. It allows a developer to test code extensions to Universal Server without affecting performance or the work of other users.
Normally, the utility that starts Universal Server,
oninit
, runs with the privileges of the user
informix
. Therefore, permitting a non-privileged user to create new functions, dynamically link them with the server, and execute them violates security. A private installation allows a developer to run Universal Server without the privileges of the user
informix
or the privileges of the user
root
to facilitate debugging DataBlade modules and user-defined routines.
A private installation does not affect a conventional installation of Universal Server. For information about creating a private-installation version of Universal Server, refer to the
INFORMIX-Universal Server Installation Guide
.
