Возможно, укого то есть время и желание поучаствовать в новом проекте SourceForge, связанном с Informix:

New SourceForge project: ids-config

Work with the best brains in the Informix world and contribute. A team of the top Informix brains has set up a SourceForge project to build a semi-intelligent IDS configuration tool as a user community project. Have a look at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ids-config

Вот вкратце описание
===================
Project Goal
The goal of the IDS-Config Project is to permit new users of IBM Informix Dynamic Server ( IDS ) to configure an initial instance of IDS as easily as possible.

Initial Release
The initial release will most likely be limited to creating a basic operational onconfig file for a system based on minimal input from the user.

The likely initial target platform is IDS 10.00, with IDS 11.10 as another desirable candidate.

The exact scope is still to be determined - it might go so far as to generate a script that will create directories and files as well as the script.

No planned initial release date has been set - the initial goals are still 100% negotiable.

Future Versions
Future versions of IDS-Config might handle more steps of the initialization and configuration process:

Creating extra dbspaces (blob spaces, smart blob spaces)
Moving logical logs into a separate dbspace
Moving physical log into a separate dbspace
Generate sqlhosts file
Tuning suggestions
Supporting other versions of IDS (7.31, 9.40)
Logo
Generate auxilliary configuration files (concsm.cfg, plconfig, etc)
Development Languages
The proposed development languages are:

Shell (POSIX-ish - Korn Shell, Bash)
Perl (v5.8.x)
PHP (v5.x)
