Modify the Windows Environment for ISM Systems on IDS Versions

You must modify the Windows environment for computers running Informix Storage Manager (ISM) with IDS Versions 11.10, 11.50, and 11.70.

To modify the Windows environment

Select System in the Control Panel.
The System Properties dialog opens.
Select the Advanced tab, and click Environment Variables.
Modify the Path variable to include the location of the ISM directory path, as shown in the following sample:
```
C:\ism\ver#\bin
```
Click OK.
Click OK to close the Environment Variables dialog.
Note: The remaining steps are performed when you install the agent. If this procedure is skipped, perform the following steps.
Locate the sm_versions.std file
Note: The sm_versions.std file is a template for setting up the sm_versions file with information about the Storage Manager.

For more information about the sm_versions file, see the Informix user documentation.
Rename the existing sm_versions file to exclude the extension .std, as defined in your IDS release notes and as shown in the following example:
```
Informixdir\etc\sm_versions.std
```
to:
```
Informixdir\etc\sm_versions
```
Open the sm_versions file using Notepad to make sure it contains the following string:
```
1|1.0.1|ism|1|
```
If the string is not present, add it at the end of the file and save the file.
Close the file.
