Prepare the Agent for Operation

After you install and configure the Agent for IBM Informix, perform the following steps before you run backup and restore jobs for IDS.

To prepare the agent for operation

  1. On the server where IDS is running, start the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service from the Services feature of the Control Panel.
  2. Log in to Windows with a user account which has administrator privileges for backup. Enter informix (case sensitive) as the user name.
  3. Synchronize jobs with other administrative tasks.
  4. Verify the configuration of the server where IDS is running, by submitting a test backup job. You can use the ON-Bar command line.

    For more information on using the ON-Bar command line, see the Informix ON-Bar documentation.
