Setting environment variables
After you install the current version of Informix®, verify that the INFORMIXDIR, INFORMIXSERVER, ONCONFIG, PATH, and INFORMIXSQLHOSTS (if used) environment variables are set to the correct values.
The client application looks for the sqlhosts file in the etc directory in the INFORMIXDIR directory. However, you can use the INFORMIXSQLHOSTS environment variable to change the location or name of the sqlhosts file.
The setting of the GL_USEGLU environment variable must match between the source and target server during migration.
Important: Before
you start the Version 14.10 database
server, you must set the DBONPLOAD environment variable to the name
of the pload database if the name is not onpload, the
default name.
For information about environment variables, see the HCL Informix Guide to SQL: Reference.
