Requirements for the Informix server DB-Access utility

Before you start DB-Access, prepare the Informix® server environment.

Do the following tasks before you start the DB-Access utility that is included with the Informix server:

• Set environment variables
• If you require globalization, set up the Global Language Support (GLS) locale
