Post-Installation Tasks 
 

The installation program updates the ONCONFIG file in the IBM Informixdir\etc 
directory so that the agent can operate properly.  

Note: If you do not update the ONCONFIG file during installation, you must 
use a text editor to manually enter the changes in the ONCONFIG file before 
you install and deploy the agent in your network. 

Skip this procedure if you modified the ONCONFIG file during installation. 

1.  Open the ONCONFIG file using Notepad or any text editor. 

2.  For IDS Versions 9.40, 10.0, and 11.10, insert the following lines in the 

ONCONFIG file: 

BAR_MAX_BACKUP 1 # Informix Backup Agent 
BAR_BSALIB_PATH AGENT_HOME\libbsa.dll #Informix Backup Agent XBSA DLL 

where AGENT_HOME is the home directory path of the agent. 

Important! For IDS Versions 9.40, 10.0 and 11.10, if your agent home 
directory path contains space characters (for example, C:\Program 
Files\Informix), you must enter the MS-DOS shortened name when you 
specify the path (for example, C:\progra~1\ Informix). To determine the 
shortened form of a path name, view the path in an MS DOS command 
prompt window. 

3.  For IDS Versions 9.40, 10.0 and 11.10, replace the following line: 

LTAPEDEV NULL #Log tape device_path 

with this line: 

LTAPEDEV \\.\TAPE1 #Log tape device_path 

4.  Save the file. 

5.  Stop and restart all IDS instances to apply the changes to the ONCONFIG 

file. 

Note: An IDS instance means the concurrent operation of shared memory, 
processors, databases, and physical devices allocated to IDS, all of which 
can be monitored by the ONSTAT -p (profile) command.
