About this tutorial:

The purpose of this tutorial is to provide steps, scripts, and utilities you can use to install and silently deploy IDS on Linux®, UNIX®, and Windows®. The tutorial also includes scripts you can use to reduce the size of the IDS install footprint. The tutorial is based on an IBM Redbooks® publication "Embedding Informix Dynamic Server: An Introduction." Refer to the Resources section of the tutorial for a link to this Redbooks publication. The tutorial shows you how to use the IDS deployment utility that comes with IDS 11.50.xC6 to deploy a pre-configured IDS server on multiple target computers.

Following is an overview of the steps you follow to silently deploy IDS:

  • Install IDS — Install IDS on a template computer to prepare a master copy.
  • Strip — Remove unwanted files after installation to achieve the smallest possible footprint.
  • Create a snapshot for deployment — Archive your installed IDS image for future deployments
  • Silently deploy — Use the IDS deployment utility to deploy a copy of the archived IDS installation image on a target computer.
