Preparing the Database Server

The installation program creates the AppPage Builder schema for the database component on your database server.

You must already have an Informix database server installed and running on the target system.

Install Universal Web Connect while logged on to the same user account under which the services will be running. The user installing Universal Web Connect on Windows NT must have administrator privileges on that system.

If you have not yet created a repository database on your database server, the Universal Web Connect installation program can create one. Before installation, the user installing the services and the default user must be configured to use the Client SDK connectivity software on the system where Universal Web Connect is being installed. If the user cannot successfully connect to the database, the installation program will be unable to create the repositories.

Be sure the repository database has buffered logs enabled and, prior to installing Universal Web Connect, back up the logical-log files. If your log files do not have enough room to accommodate all of the transactions, parts of the installation program fail.

To check the status of the logical-log files on your database server

    1. Launch Command Center from the Informix Administration Tools program group.

    2. Double-click the Alerts icon.

    3. Click the Details View button to look at the alerts, if any.

    4. If one of the alerts refers to "Logical Log Capacity at XX%," then: a. in the Command Center, select the database server that contains the logical logs to be backed up.

    b. double-click the Start Backup and Restore icon.

    c. select the Back up Logical Log option and click Finish. The logical-log backup begins. The Backup and Restore program displays the status of the backup, and a message appears when the backup is complete.

    Remain in the same server mode until the backup is complete. If you change the mode in the middle of a backup, the backup terminates.

    5. If other processes are in the queue, you are prompted to place the logical-log backup in the queue. Click Yes to place the backup in the queue. Click No to cancel.
