A.1 Getting Started
Important: With the release of Acu4GL Version 4.2, Acucorp, Inc. no longer provides the
Informix libraries along with the Acu4GL product. The Informix Libraries are
necessary for providing a proper connection between Informix and Acucorp
products. If you do not already possess them, you must obtain them directly from
Informix, by contacting your local Informix vendor or by contacting:
Informix Software, Inc.
4100 Bohannon Drive
Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA
(650) 926-6300
You need to order Embedded ESQL for C. If you are using the version 5.1
series, you need the version 5.1client libraries. If you are using the version 7.2
series, you need the version 7.2 or higher.
To find out whether you can use a client/server environment to communicate with other database versions, contact Informix.
Follow the directions provided in your Informix documentation for installation
of the Informix libraries, or, depending what your arrangement is with
Informix, contact Informix Technical Support for any questions you may have.
There are several steps that must be performed before you begin using Acu4GL
for Informix on a new system. These are:
Install and configure the Informix RDBMS.
Install Acu4GL for Informix.
Designate a database.
Prepare and compile your COBOL program.
Your Informix vendor provides installation instructions for the Informix
RDBMS.
Please refer to the file SERVERS_7.2 in the release directory of your Informix
distribution, for more information about version 7.2 and 7.3 and above.
