The objective of the tutorial is to show you one way of using the embeddability features of the Informix®.
The deploy_server.sh script in this demonstration uses the deployment assistant to compress an existing, online server into tgz format (GZIP); deploys the snapshot to either a chosen or default location; and brings that instance online. You can also use the script to uninstall a deployed instance.
The demonstration is intended for UNIX platforms.
See the README file at $INFORMIXDIR/demo/embed/README for additional information.
