OS Information : Built on AIX 7.2 Technology.
Machine Specific Notes
======================
1. This product was built on AIX 7.2 Technology using the
following compilers:
IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V13.1.3 (5765-J06)
XL C/C++ Runtime 13.1.3
2. AIX patch requirement:
3. To use a specific shared library to link with your application, include
the directories where the 64bit C++ shared libraries are installed by
setting your environment as follows:
(for Bourne or Korn Shell)
LIBPATH=$INFORMIXDIR/lib:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/c++:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/dmi:$LIBPATH
export LIBPATH
(for C Shell)
setenv LIBPATH $INFORMIXDIR/lib:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/c++:
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/dmi:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:$LIBPATH
4. IPv6 Support
The product supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (128 Bit Internet Addresses)
as well as IPv4 (32 Bit Addresses).
In order for the machine name specified in the SQLHOSTS file to resolve
to the correct IP address, the name services files on the Operating System
should be correctly configured. If the machine has IPv6 address configured
and the listener thread is bound to an IPv6 address, then the name
resolution files /etc/netsvc.conf should be configured to fetch IPv6
address. Also use the appropriate /etc/hosts setting if local machine
settings are used.
For compatibility with older HCL Informix client and server products,
assign the same hostname with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address.
If the listener needs to be bound to an IPv4 address and the name services
resolve the name in the order of the IPv6 address followed by IPv4 address,
then an explicit IPv4 address needs to be put in nodename field of SQLHOSTS
file. Client applications should also use the same setting.
