  • 1.  What are the changes to InformixHQ?

    Posted Mon March 16, 2020 04:31 AM
    Hello All,

    Informix 12.10.xC14, which was recently released, contains version 1.1.1.2, and 14.10.xC3 contains version 1.1.1.
    Does anyone know about the documentation plan for changes made to each version of InformixHQ?

    Hi SangGyu.

    Yes - I would like to know that! I just had this published:

    https://www.oninitgroup.com/informixhq-setup

    Not in the article, I also have a startup task to run the script listed, so that HQ starts automatically with IDS. Let me know if that's of interest.

    Hi Doug,
    That's a great article! I am also interested in the startup task.
    Is that task different from the command below in Article?

    su - informix -c '$INFORMIXDIR/hq/informixhq-control.sh start'

    Hi SangGyu.

    This is the SQL to set that up:

    Wow.. InformixHQ will start automatically through the scheduler. Very cool! 😆
    Thank you very much for sharing the script.
