Informix Dynamic Server for Windows

Installing a main or additional server creates and starts the Informix® Dynamic Server.

Before you create the database server, read, Upgrading Rational® Synergy on Windows.

You do not need to use the ccmsrv create command to create a server. Use this command only if you delete an online server by using the ccmsrv delete command, then want to create an online server. Additionally, use the ccmsrv create command if you chose not to create a server during installation, or if the database server creation failed during installation.

Install only one database server on a computer.

The ccmsrv create command creates an Informix Dynamic Server to accommodate one or more Rational Synergy databases on a specific machine.

When you create an Informix Dynamic Server, a file that resides in the CCM_HOME\informix\etc directory is generated and updated. This file is called the configuration file. Additionally, the registry is updated.

The configuration file is named onconfig and contains a number of important parameter settings for the server. This file is essential for certain Rational Synergy commands to work properly. Under normal circumstances, do not manually modify this file.

Note: The names of your chunk files paths must contain fewer than 66 characters.

You must be an Informix-Admin group member and working as local administrator to perform this command. You must run the ccmsrv create command on the machine where Informix was installed.

Here is an example of the output you might see when you create a database server without using a parameter file.
