Customize the size of Informix

If your application runs in a low-memory environment, you might need to minimize the size of HCL Informix®.

You can customize the size of HCL Informix during installation and during snapshot creation.

You can use the Deployment wizard during installation to exclude parts of the Informix product that your application does not need. The installation program ensures that all dependent components are automatically selected. The installation program shows you what the size of the product will be after installation. The minimum size of the Informix installation is approximately 100 MB.

You can use the Deployment Assistant to exclude parts of the product from the snapshot of an existing Informix instance that you intend to deploy embedded in your application. The Deployment Assistant does not enforce dependencies. You can also choose which Informix client products and which dbspaces being used by the Informix instance to include in the snapshot.

Note: The deployment assistant ifxdeployassist (DA) is not supported starting Informix Server version 14.10.xC7 and is no longer included with the product.
