                            MACHINE SPECIFIC NOTES
                                    FOR
                GBase 8t-Client SDK 4.10.TC4G1 PRODUCT RELEASE
                       GBase 8t-ESQL/C Version 4.10.TC4G1 
                                 On Windows

                      =================================

OS Information : Built on Windows Server 2003 x64 SP2, Certified on Windows Server 2008 x64,
                 Windows 7 x64.

Machine Specific Notes
======================

1.  This product supports the following compiler:

        Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM

    This product is built on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 with 
    Service Pack 2 using the following compiler from Microsoft Visual
    Studio 2008:

        Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 

2.  Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)

    PAM functionality is supported. Use of PAM can be enabled or disabled by 
    the system administrator. By default, GBase 8t Database Server will use 
    the traditional authentication mechanism in order to avoid widespread 
    changes required by the users.

3.  IPv6 Support 
   
    IDS supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (128 Bit Internet Addresses)
    as well as IPv4 (32 Bit Addresses).

    In order for the machine name specified in the SQLHOSTS registry to resolve 
    to the correct IP address, the name services files on the Operating System 
    should be correctly configured.

    For compatibility with older GBase 8t client and server products, assign the
    same hostname with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address. If the listener
    needs to be bound to an IPv4 address and the name services resolve the name 
    in the order of the IPv6 address followed by IPv4 address, then an explicit
    IPv4 address needs to be put in nodename field of server registry. Client 
    applications should also use the same setting.

4.  ESQL/C support for static libraries

    ESQL/C product libraries are supported as both static and dynamic
    libraries. By default the script uses dynamic libraries.
    To use static libraries, the 'esql' script must be invoked with the
    -static option:

        esql -static

    Currently this -static option only works with the Microsoft Compiler.
    The static library name is isqlt09s.lib. This library is installed in
    $INFORMIXDIR/lib.

5.  Connectivity on Windows Vista

    To enable connections between database servers on the Vista operating 
    system, you must enable network discovery and NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

    To enable connections:

    1) From the Control Panel, double-click Network and Sharing.
    2) In the Sharing and Discovery section of the Network and Sharing Center, 
       click Network discovery and then Turn on network discovery.
    3) In the Network section, click View Status next to the Local Area 
       Connection.
    4) In the Local Area Connection Status dialog box, click Properties.
    5) In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, choose the 
       appropriate Internet Protocol Version and click Properties.
    6) In the Internet Protocol Version Properties dialog box, click Advanced.
    7) On the WINS page of the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box, click 
       Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP and then click OK.
    8) Continue clicking OK or Close until all dialog boxes are closed.
