Easy deployment

You can use the deployment tools to quickly and easily deploy Informix® to multiple locations.

You can take a snapshot of a fully configured Informix instance and its databases with the deployment assistant. You can then deploy that snapshot with the deployment utility to multiple target computers with one command.

The Informix embeddability tutorial provides step-by-step methods for using the deployment tools and writing a silent installation script. Specifically, the tutorial walks you through archiving of an installed database server instance with its associated data spaces on a template computer and deploying the snapshot on a different computer. A script-based method, such as described in the tutorial, can maximize the embeddability benefits of the deployment tools.

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