Introducing the Informix deployment assistant

The deployment assistant is used to create snapshots of HCL Informix® instances and their associated dbspaces, which can be later deployed on multiple target computers using the deployment utility.

The deployment assistant also allows users to reduce the footprint of the Informix installation by displaying file associations at the time of packaging.

Using the deployment assistant

The deployment assistant is included on the Informix server at $INFORMIXDIR/bin on Linux and at %INFORMIXDIR%\bin on Windows. To use the deployment assistant, you must run the following command from a command line:
