The INFORMIXCONTIME (connect time) and INFORMIXCONRETRY (connect retry) environment variables are client environment variables that affect the behavior of the client when it is trying to connect to a database server. Use these environment variables to minimize connection errors caused by busy network traffic.
If the client application explicitly attaches to shared-memory segments, you might need to set INFORMIXSHMBASE (shared-memory base). For more information, refer to How a Client Attaches to the Communications Portion.
The INFORMIXSERVER environment variable allows you to specify a default dbservername to which your clients will connect.
For more information on environment variables, see the IBM Informix: Guide to SQL Reference.
