When deleting a database server, the Informix® data portion of all Rational® Synergy databases under this database server are destroyed. However, the file system portion is not destroyed. Therefore, back up all the database server databases (for example, using ccmdb backup). Then, in most cases, delete the databases (for example, using ccmdb delete) one by one before deleting the database server. Deleting the databases before deleting the database server removes all parts (file system and metadata) of each database.
If you did not set up CCM_HOME and PATH for user informix during installation, set these environment variables now.
