Release notes for HCL OneDB for Windows Operating Systems

Content

What is HCL OneDB 1.0.0.0 ?

HCL OneDB is a high-performance, multi-modal, enterprise-class database server designed to run in the Linux, AIX and Windows operating systems.

HCL OneDB is a derivative of the Informix database server, and so it shares a high degree of functionality with the Informix products. OneDB is compatible with all current Informix versions at the SQL and application levels, and so the Informix documentation that describes database administration, high availability, archives, connectivity, application development, and many other features will be referenced. The description within the referenced OneDB documentation will be fully accurate and compatible with OneDB.

You can find out about Informix capabilities, administration and operational details in the online documentation at this link: OneDB Documentation. We recommend that new users should start with the Getting Started section of the portal. OneDB is available on multiple platforms. We recommend users read and understand the Machine Notes for their platform, before installing or upgrading the product. Machine Notes are available with your product and on the documentation portal.

System Requirements

Although HCL OneDB is an enterprise-class database server that can service thousands of users simultaneously, it is also extremely efficient in the usage of resources. The minimal requirements listed below assume you will have only a few users and a moderate workload.

Minimum disk space and memory requirements:

750 MB of disk space and 256 MB of memory

Many applications require substantially larger systems. Your HCL sales team can help optimize the hardware required for your application.

Refer to the machine notes for more detailed information on system requirements.

Installing HCL OneDB 1.0.0.0

The HCL OneDB Installation Guide is available on the OneDB documentation site.

If you are migrating from a version of OneDB, make sure that you understand all migration requirements and restrictions before you install the product. For migration information, contact HCL sales team.

Known problems

At time of publication, the following problems were known:

• Windows firewall exception is needed before installation

  Before you install OneDB on Windows operating systems, make a Windows firewall exception for the TCP listening port that is used by OneDB. By default, the OneDB port is 9088; however, you can specify a different port number during installation.

• Removing users when you uninstall the database server

  If there are multiple installations of the product on the computer, and you are uninstalling one of the products, be careful when you use the Remove users and groups option. Do not remove users or groups that are required by the other installations of the product. If you remove users or groups that are required by the other products, the other products will not start or they will be inoperable.

• Starting OneDB instances

  To start an OneDB instance, use the instance shortcut that is in the OneDB program group.
