Informix 4gl based Datablades

I would like the ability to create database/SPL's using Informix 4GL syntax and features. I know forms and such wouldn't work but I could then leverage legacy into efficient data retrieval processes for for Java and Typescript to access

ENABLE ONCHECK DATA CROSS-CHECKING FOR FUNCTIONAL INDEX

oncheck -cI on a functional index still says:"Non vanilla index. data crosschecking not enabled" After so many years supporting functional indices we should consider enabling this. I had a customer with a corruption in a functional index on a huge...

Informix HQ - API calls for Groups/Servers administration

Hello Team, I am aware that we can create/add/delete Servers/Groups via InformixHQ UI as admin. Are there API calls that I can use with curl for add/delete/modify Servers/Groups ? This will help in automating end-to-end configuration of Informix H...

Create an InformixHQ sensor to obtain the slowest queries directly from InformixHQ repository instead local SQLTRACE on the instance..

Create an Informix-HQ sensor that populates an historical data table with the slowest/heaviest queries on an instance.

SQLTRACE has proved been a valuable resource to identify slow/heavy queries. An even sysadmin may store a history of the SQLTRACE output, it would be great to have a filter for the heaviest/slowest queries, and store them as a sensor of Informix-HQ.
