Preparing to use the BladeManager command-line interface

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

To prepare to use the BladeManager command-line interface:

  1. Configure your HCL Informix® environment in one of the following ways:
    • On UNIX, set INFORMIXDIR, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ONCONFIG, and INFORMIXSERVER. For information about setting these environment variables, see the HCL Informix Administrator's Guide.
    • On Windows, set INFORMIXDIR and INFORMIXSERVER. For information about setting these environment variables, see the HCL Informix Installation Guide.
  2. 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.
  3. Install DataBlade modules. See Installing DataBlade modules, for more information.
  4. Install BladeManager, if necessary.

    BladeManager is included in the installation for your database server on UNIX.

    BladeManager is included in the installation bundle for your database server on Windows. Alternatively, you can install BladeManager on Windows by running the BladeMgr\Setup.exe program in your database server product media.
