Hi there,

First make sure whether Informix is installed successfully, then start your server. If Informix is installed successfully you can go to start-programs - Informix Dynamic Server - (Your server name)
You will get a command window, give the command
starts <server name> to start the server
Now to Create new Dbspace, At the same window

1 Create a new file – edit abc.dat
2 Save it
3 Give the command
Onspaces –C –D Abc_dbs –P C:\data\abc -O 10 -S 50000
4 The dbspace will be created
5 Take a level 0 archive – Ontape -S
