Preparing to use the BladeManager graphical user interface

This topic lists the prerequisite tasks for using BladeManager to register DataBlade modules.

To prepare to use BladeManager:

  1. Install and configure HCL Informix®.
    • You must have these environment variables set properly: INFORMIXDIR and INFORMIXSERVER. For more information, see the HCL Informix Installation Guide.
    • Set the DB_LIBRARY_PATH configuration parameter in the onconfig file. The DB_LIBRARY_PATH configuration parameter specifies the location that Informix checks for UDR or UDT shared libraries. The DB_LIBRARY_PATH configuration parameter should include $INFORMIXDIR/extend for DataBlade modules. For more information, see the HCL Informix Administrator's Reference.
  2. Install DataBlade modules. See Installing DataBlade modules, for more information.
  3. If necessary, install BladeManager.

    BladeManager is included in the HCL Informix installation bundle. If you did not install BladeManager when you installed Informix, run BladeMgr\Setup.exe from the installation media.

To start BladeManager, select Start > Programs > Informix program group name > BladeManager or double-click the BladeManager icon in the Informix program group. To see a particular page in the application window, click its tab.
