iv IBM Informix 4GL Installation Guide
Introduction
This introduction provides an overview of the information in this publication and
describes the conventions it uses.

About this publication

This publication explains how to install your IBM® Informix® 4GL software and is
written with the assumption that you have a working knowledge of your
computer, your operating system, and the utilities that your operating system
provides.

Software dependencies
This publication is written with the assumption that you are using IBM Informix
11.10, 11.50, or 11.70 as your database server.

Assumptions about your locale

IBM Informix products can support many languages, cultures, and code sets. All
the information related to character set, collation and representation of numeric
data, currency, date, and time that is used by a language within a given territory
and encoding is brought together in a single environment, called a Global
Language Support (GLS) locale.

The IBM Informix OLE DB Provider follows the ISO string formats for date, time,
and money, as defined by the Microsoft OLE DB standards. You can override that
default by setting an Informix environment variable or registry entry, such as
DBDATE.

If you use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in your Informix

environment, note that the protocols (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2) recognize only
English code sets. For more information, see the topic about GLS and SNMP in the
IBM Informix SNMP Subagent Guide.

The examples in this publication are written with the assumption that you are
using one of these locales: en_us.8859-1 (ISO 8859-1) on UNIX platforms or
en_us.1252 (Microsoft 1252) in Windows environments. These locales support U.S.
English format conventions for displaying and entering date, time, number, and
currency values. They also support the ISO 8859-1 code set (on UNIX and Linux)
or the Microsoft 1252 code set (on Windows), which includes the ASCII code set
plus many 8-bit characters such as é, è, and ñ.

You can specify another locale if you plan to use characters from other locales in
your data or your SQL identifiers, or if you want to conform to other collation
rules for character data.

For instructions about how to specify locales, additional syntax, and other
considerations related to GLS locales, see the IBM Informix GLS User's Guide.

Demonstration database
IBM Informix 4GL includes a demonstration database called stores7. For
information about how to build this sample database and examples, see IBM

© Copyright IBM Corp. 1996, 2011 v

 Informix 4GL by Example. If you are also installing a database server, you will need
to install your database server after you have installed Informix 4GL . For more
information, check the Administrator's Guide for your database server.

Demonstration programs
Demonstration programs for IBM Informix 4GL web services are available from the
$INFORMIXDIR/demo/soa/en_us/0333 directory.

These demonstration programs cover how to:

v Publish an Informix 4GL web service
v Subscribe to an Informix 4GL web service using an I4GL subscriber
v Fetch the details of a web service from the WSDL file using the WSDL parser

What's new in IBM Informix 4GL, Version 7.50

This topic lists new features in IBM Informix 4GL Version 7.50.
Table 1. What's new in IBM Informix 4GL for Version 7.50.xC5
New feature Description
Simultaneous This release supports simultaneous thread handling with the
thread handling introduction of the FGLD daemon. In previous releases, multiple
invocations of the same Informix 4GL function ran simultaneously in
a dedicated Informix 4GL environment and shared resources. With
simultaneous thread handling, clients can have their own
environment and individual copies of data. The FGLD daemon
receives a request from the Axis2/C client, communicates with 4GL,
and returns the results to the Axis2/C client. The Axis2/C server and
FGLD daemon must coexist on the same computer. The FGLD
daemon requires that you set two new environment variables
(FGLD_HOSTNAME and FGLD_PORTNUMBER) on the same
terminal where the Axis2/C server is started. The FGLD daemon also
can relay errors to the clients.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web

Services Administration Guide.
NULL handling in Informix 4GL can handle NULL values as the inputs and outputs
inputs and outputs within an Informix 4GL function. In a web service, the WSDL
standard differentiates NULL and non-NULL values using the
xsi:nil="true" attribute for both inputs and outputs. Informix 4GL
adheres to the WSDL standards including handling NULL values.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web

Services Administration Guide.
Optional input and Informix 4GL does not require input or output parameters when
output parameters publishing or subscribing to a web service. In previous releases of
the product, input and output parameters were mandatory.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web

Services Administration Guide.

Table 1. What's new in IBM Informix 4GL for Version 7.50.xC5 (continued)
New feature Description
Dynamic array With support for the DYNAMIC ARRAY data type, Informix 4GL
support applications can return multiple rows. Informix 4GL supports the
ARRAY data type, but you cannot use the ARRAY data type in
inputs or outputs. Informix 4GL clients can process structured data
such as ARRAYs and RECORDs from other 4GL applications.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web

Services Administration Guide.
New editions and IBM Informix Dynamic Server editions were withdrawn and new
product names Informix editions are available. Some products were also renamed.
The publications in the Informix library pertain to the following
products:
v IBM Informix database server, formerly known as IBM Informix
Dynamic Server (IDS)
v IBM OpenAdmin Tool (OAT) for Informix, formerly known as
OpenAdmin Tool for Informix Dynamic Server (IDS)
v IBM Informix SQL Warehousing Tool, formerly known as Informix
Warehouse Feature

http://www.ibm.com/software/data/informix/.

Table 2. What's new in IBM Informix 4GL for Version 7.50.xC4

New feature Description
File I/O This release introduces direct support for file I/O in Informix 4GL
enhancement for applications. Unlike earlier versions that supported file I/O indirectly
Informix 4GL by calls to C or C++ functions, this release supports new Informix
4GL statements that can open, read, write, seek, and close report
files, including any UNIX files. This enhancement provides a
standard Informix 4GL interface for handling reports or reading files.
This enhancement is available to all 4GL users.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web

Services Administration Guide.
WSDL parser This release contains a parser (wsdl_parser) for the Web Services
Definition Language (WSDL) that generates a subscriber
configuration file and simplifies subscribing.

The WSDL parser (wsdl_parser) is integrated with the w4gl utility or

you can invoke the parser from the command line. When you
subscribe to (or consume) a web service, this feature parses the
WSDL file to retrieve all the information that is required to define a
web service.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web

Services Administration Guide.

Introduction vii
 Table 2. What's new in IBM Informix 4GL for Version 7.50.xC4 (continued)
New feature Description
Error handling for When you enable your 4GL applications to run on the web, you can
4GL web services handle errors generated by the application or web services. Informix
4GL defines errors by error number (WS_STATUS variable) and error
message (WS_STATUS_MSG variable). The applications can check for
error numbers to determine whether certain errors occurred. The
applications can relay the correct error messages to users who can be
in different locations on remote clients. Error messages are relayed in
English only.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL web

Services Administration Guide.
RECORD data type You can use the RECORD data type in 4GL applications to define a
in 4GL applications data type as a structure of member variables. You can avoid
specifying all individual member variables of a structure. Instead, use
the RECORD LIKE TABLE.* data type to specify that all columns of
the table make up the structure. The RECORD data type returns only
one row at a time. The RECORD type support is the same as the
RECORD support in 4GL.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web

Services Administration Guide.
Reporting available Informix 4GL reports are now available as web services. You can
as web services transmit any kind of binary or character data across applications and
to other users who might be in different locations. Use the new data
type, WS_FILENAME, as an input or output in the w4gl user
interface. Use the VARCHAR(255) data type in 4GL applications to
handle report parameters. These reports can be generated without
changing any pseudocode in your 4GL applications. The
WS_FILENAME data type is a substitute for BYTE or TEXT data
types to represent printable ASCII data and digitized contents.
Currently in Informix 4GL, it is not possible to send BYTE or TEXT
data types as outputs.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web

Services Administration Guide.

Table 3. What's new in IBM Informix 4GL for Version 7.50.xC3

New feature Description
4GL web services With Informix 4GL 7.50.xC3, 4GL programs can subscribe to web
subscription services written in 4GL or any modern programming language. The
product contains sample demonstrations on how to publish an 4GL
web service and how to subscribe to an 4GL web service using an
4GL subscriber.

This new functionality is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web

Services Administration Guide.

viii IBM Informix 4GL Installation Guide

 Table 4. What's new in IBM Informix 4GL for Version 7.50.xC2
New feature Description
4GL web Services With Informix 4GL 7.50.xC2, you can deploy your 4GL functions on
the web without rewriting any source code. The w4gl utility uses
your existing 4GL code to create web services. These web services
can be used by, for example, Java and .Net applications on the web
without you doing any Java or .NET programming. Your business
logic is maintained in 4GL, and made available to a variety of web
clients by the web services.

This feature is documented in the IBM Informix 4GL Web Services

Administration Guide.

Additional documentation
Documentation about this release of IBM Informix products is available in various
formats.

You can access or install the product documentation from the Quick Start CD that
is shipped with Informix products. To get the most current information, see the

library/.

Compliance with industry standards

The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International
Organization of Standardization (ISO) have jointly established a set of industry
standards for the Structured Query Language (SQL). IBM Informix SQL-based
products are fully compliant with SQL-92 Entry Level (published as ANSI
X3.135-1992), which is identical to ISO 9075:1992. In addition, many features of
Informix database servers comply with the SQL-92 Intermediate and Full Level
and X/Open SQL Common Applications Environment (CAE) standards.

x IBM Informix 4GL Installation Guide

Informix 4GL installation
These topics guide you through the steps necessary to prepare your environment
and install the IBM Informix 4GL product software.

The 4GL product has two different implementations, each of which includes the
4GL Interactive Debugger component.
v The IBM Informix 4GL C Compiler uses a preprocessor to generate IBM
Informix ESQL/C source code. This code is preprocessed in turn to produce C
source code, which is then compiled and linked as object code in an executable
command file.
Beginning with 4GL 7.50.xC2, this implementation includes the Apache Axis2/C
and Apache Axis2/Java packages. For more information about the Apache
Axis2/C server, see http://ws.apache.org/axis2/c/docs/installationguide.html.
v The IBM Informix 4GL Rapid Development System (RDS) uses a compiler to
produce pseudocode (called P code) in a single step. You then invoke a runner
to execute the P-code version of your 4GL application.

Memory and space requirements

Before installing either IBM Informix 4GL implementation, you must ensure that
your hardware system meets the appropriate memory and space requirements.

The following table indicates how much RAM is required, based on the number of
users.
Table 1-1. RAM requirements per users
Number of users RAM requirements
Small multiuser (1-10 users) 8 MB
Large multiuser (11 plus users) 16 MB or more

Order of installation
Many IBM Informix products must be installed in a specific order. Before you
install Informix 4GL, review the order of installation for your 4GL components.

If you install more than one IBM Informix product (for example, 4GL and IBM
Informix), you must install each product in the following order:
1. Application development tools
Install application development tools in chronological product order, from the
oldest to the newest versions.
2. SQL application programming interfaces (APIs)
Install SQL APIs in chronological product order, from the oldest to the newest
versions.
3. Database servers
Install database servers in chronological product order, from the oldest to the
newest versions.
Generally, a database server should be installed in the same directory as any
SQL API or application development tools that use it. Therefore, verify that
$INFORMIXDIR is set to the common directory before you install these types
of products.
4. Additional products
Install remaining interface and documentation products in chronological
product order, from the oldest to the newest versions.

1-2 IBM Informix 4GL Installation Guide

Creating the user informix, group informix, and product directory
First-time users of IBM Informix products must create the user informix, group
informix, and informix product directory.

Typically on 4GL, you must be able to log in as the following users:

v as informix: to run the IBM Informix servers and software
v as yourself: to perform administrative work on your computer, such as copying
and extracting files
v as root: to edit system files and install the IBM Informix software

User informix is a user account with main authority over an IBM Informix
instance. The user informix is the database equivalent of the UNIX root account, so
anyone logged in as informix can completely access any IBM Informix products
and databases. Make sure that you keep the password for user informix
confidential.

Group informix must exist on the system for the user accounts required to install
and administer an IBM Informix product. IBM Informix products use group
informix internally to control database access. Make user informix the only
member of group informix. If you make a user of an IBM Informix product a
member of group informix, you can cause unintended and uncontrolled database
access.

To create the user informix, group informix, and informix product directory:
1. Create a group called informix in the group file (/etc/group on most
UNIX-based systems).
Generally, you should provide a unique group number that is greater than or
equal to 100. If necessary, see your system administrator or operating-system
manual for assistance.
2. Add a new user called informix to the /etc/passwd file and assign the user to
the group informix.
Generally, you should provide a user ID number greater than or equal to 100
for that user and include a password for user informix.
3. If you are using a network, propagate the new user name to all systems on the
network. For example, you (or the network administrator) might need to run
the ypmake utility.
4. By default, the software is installed in /usr/informix. If you decide to use a
different directory, substitute that directory path and name throughout this
documentation whenever you see /usr/informix. Create a directory for your
4GL software by entering a command such as the following:
mkdir /usr/informix

Informix environment variables

Before you can use any IBM Informix product, you must set numerous
environment variables and create a setup file to store the environment variables.

At a minimum, these environment variables must be set:

AXIS2C_HOME
Specifies the Axis2 installation directory. For example:
setenv AXIS2C_HOME $INFORMIXDIR/AXIS2C

Informix 4GL installation 1-3

 CLASSPATH
Specifies the path to the required classes. For example:
setenv CLASSPATH $AXIS_JAR_DIR/wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/
backport-util-concurrent-2.2.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/
XmlSchema-1.2.1.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/
XmlSchema-1.3.1.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/xbean-2.2.0.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/
axiom-dom-1.3.1.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/axiom-impl-1.3.1.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/
axiom-api-1.3.1.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/neethi-1.3.1.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/
axis.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/commons-logging.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/
wsdl2ws.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/commons-discovery.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/jaxrpc.jar:
$AXIS_JAR_DIR/saaj.jar:$AXIS_JAR_DIR/wsdl4j.jar:
$AXIS_JAR_DIR/axis2-java2wsdl-1.3.1.jar:
$AXIS_JAR_DIR/axis2-codegen-1.3.1.jar:
$AXIS_JAR_DIR/axis2-kernel-1.3.1.jar
DBDATE
The format for dates and times. This environment variable must be set if your
4GL web service contains date values. The default is Y4MD-, which is a
four-digit year followed by the month and date separated by a dash, for
example, 2009-10-12.
DBPATH
Identifies database servers that contain databases and must be set to
$INFORMIXDIR/etc.
FGLD_HOSTNAME
Specifies the host name where the FGLD daemon is running. The host name
must match the host name where the web service is published. This
environment variable is mandatory if you intend on using the simultaneous
thread handling feature.

Important: The FGLD_HOSTNAME environment variable must be set on the

same terminal where the Axis2/C server will be started.
FGLD_PORTNUMBER
Specifies the port number where the FGLD daemon is started. This
environment variable is mandatory if you intend on using the simultaneous
thread handling feature.

Important: The FGLD_PORTNUMBER environment variable must be set on

the same terminal where the Axis2/C server will be started.
INFORMIXDIR
The location of the client programs, library files, message files, header files,
and other Informix software components. For example:
setenv INFORMIXDIR /extra/4gl
INFORMIXSERVER
The arbitrary, logical name you supplied for your Informix database server.
This name is used to establish connectivity in client/server configurations. For
example:
setenv INFORMIXSERVER cardtrick_ol
INFORMIXSQLHOSTS
The path to the etc/sqlhosts files within your Informix database software. For
example:
setenv INFORMIXSQLHOSTS /extra/4gl/etc/sqlhosts
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Sets the path to the library file that the Informix database software uses. For
example:

1-4 IBM Informix 4GL Installation Guide

 setenv
LD_LIBRARY_PATH $INFORMIXDIR/lib:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql:$INFORMIXDIR/lib/tools
PATH
The location of the binary files for your Informix software. For example:
setenv PATH ${PATH}:/extra/4gl/bin

Important: On some platforms, LD_LIBRARY_PATH has a different name. See

your platform-specific machine notes for the name of this environment variable on
your platform.

For more information about setting Informix environment variables, see the IBM
Informix Guide to SQL: Reference and the IBM Informix 4GL Web Services
Administration Guide.

Creating and using a setup file

You can create a setup file that stores the environment variables.

You must run the environment variables in the windows from which you are
running an IBM Informix product. You can then source the file to set the
environment variables.

To create and use a setup file:

1. Create a setup file using either the Text Editor or vi editor.
2. Enter your current environment variables into the setup file. For example, a
setup file might include the following environment variables:
setenv INFORMIXDIR /extra/4gl
setenv PATH ${INFORMIXDIR}/bin:${PATH}
setenv INFORMIXSERVER cardtrick_ol
setenv INFORMIXSQLHOSTS ${INFORMIXDIR}/etc/sqlhosts
3. Save the file.
4. Each time you open a new shell window, source the setup file to set the
environment variables. For example:
source setup
5. To make sure that the environment variables are set correctly, use the env
command.
It is always a good idea to check the environment variables. Sometimes UNIX
might not allow you to access a file. If this occurs, you might have to log in as
another user to access the file.

Installing IBM Informix 4GL

This topic contains instructions for installing IBM Informix 4GL. If you are also
installing a database server, review the installation and configuration information
in the Administrator's Guide for your version of the database server before you
proceed with the steps in this section.

Before you begin your 4GL installation, you need the following:
v IBM Informix 4GL software product media or downloaded files
v Your device name

Important: To run the 4GL compiler, you must have a C compiler installed on
your computer. A C compiler is not included with this product.
