Informix Warehouse Accelerator directory structure

When you install and set up Informix® Warehouse Accelerator, there are several directories that are needed.

Informix Warehouse Accelerator is installed in the directory that is specified by the INFORMIXDIR environment variable, if the variable is set in the environment in which the installer is launched. If the variable is not set, the default installation directory is /opt/IBM/informix.
