Requirements for running the onperf utility

The computer that is running the onperf utility must support the X terminal and the mwm window manager.

When you install the database server, the following executable files are written to the $INFORMIXDIR/bin directory:
  • onperf
  • onedcu
  • onedpu
  • xtree

In addition, the onperf.hlp online help file is placed in the directory $INFORMIXDIR/hhelp.

When the database server is installed and running in online mode, you can bring up onperf tools either on the computer that is running the database server or on a remote computer or terminal that can communicate with your database server instance. Two options for running onperf illustrates both possibilities. In either case, the computer that is running the onperf tools must support the X terminal and the mwm window manager.

This figure shows an example of onperf running on same computer as the server and another example of onperf running on a remote computer.
