Installing your DataBlade module on UNIX

How you install your DataBlade® module depends on when it was released; the installation process for DataBlade modules released after the beginning of 2007 is different from the installation process for DataBlade modules released before 2007.

About this task

The DataBlade module software is installed in the directory $INFORMIXDIR/extend/datablade.version, where datablade is the project name and version is the version number. For example, a Map DataBlade module with a version of 4.13.UC4 would be in $INFORMIXDIR/extend/map.4.13.UC4.

If the DataBlade module package you are installing has multiple DataBlade modules, each module is unloaded into a separate directory. Each directory has its own installation script. Move to each directory using the cd command and run the installation script. The order of installation does not matter.
Important: After you install your DataBlade module, read the online notes in the /doc directory in the DataBlade directory.
