IDS and WebSphere Installations
Install IDS and Java Environment Include the bin directory of J2SE in the PATH environment variable ie: Export CLASSPATH=/home/JDBC/lib/ifxjdbc.jar:/home/JDBC/lib/ifxjdbcx.jar TIP: Set the CLASSPATH environment variable in every user profile that will connect to IDS using JDBC. Verify that your environment variables are properly set. Ie: INFORMIXSERVER, INFORMIXDIR, ONCONFIG, PATH, CLASSPATH Install WAS (WebSphere App Server) to work with IDS Install JDBC driver on the development server and separate App Server machine if using three tier architecture Install WebSphere Studio App Server with WORF for IDS, on separate server, if using three tier architecture. Run Setup from temp directory. Install WSAD (WebSphere Studio Application Developer) on Windows Client(s) Run Setup, opens Installation Launcher window, follow instructions to point to WepSphere app server and IDS RDBMS server. Install IDS and Java Env: Set the CLASSPATH environment variable in every user profile that will connect to IDS using JDBC. In our case we added this variable in the profile_settings file and loaded this script in the user profiles that ran Java applications against IDS By including the Informix JDBC driver in the CLASSPATH we make available the necessary packages that a Java application needs to access to connect to an Informix server. Inside the application code we have to import the JDBC packages, load the JDBC driver, and then connect to the database. Verify that your environment variables are properly set. IDS variables should be pointing to the correct server instance, PATH should include Informix and Java bin directories, and CLASSPATH should include the Informix JDBC jar files and the current directory. In our case we included all these settings in our $INFORMIXDIR/demo/server/profile_settings file. This is how it looked: INFORMIXSERVER=demo_on INFORMIXDIR=/home/IDS9.40 ONCONFIG=onconfig.demo CLASSPATH=/home/JDBC/lib/ifxjdbc.jar:/home/JDBC/lib/ifxjdbcx.jar:.
