DataBlade Module Installation and Registration Guide Installing DataBlade Modules

Before you can use a DataBlade module, make sure your database server and any clients are properly configured.

On UNIX, you must have these environment variables set properly: INFORMIXDIR, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ONCONFIG, and INFORMIXSERVER. For more information, see the Administrator's Guide for Informix Dynamic Server 2000.

On Windows NT, you must have these environment variables set properly: INFORMIXDIR and INFORMIXSERVER. For more information, see the Installation Guide for Informix Dynamic Server 2000 on Windows NT.

1. Install the DataBlade module on Dynamic Server.

This process is described later in this chapter.

2. Make the DataBlade module available to a database by registering it in that database with BladeManager.

To use a graphical user interface on Windows, see Chapter 2, Registering with the BladeManager Graphical User Interface.

To use a command-line interface on UNIX or Windows, see Chapter 3, Registering with the BladeManager Command-Line Interface.

For more information on your DataBlade module, see the user's guide for the module.
