The Ingres Environment
To run ABF and Vision, you must set up your Ingres environment correctly. See the section that applies to your operating system.
Windows: To check that you have defined the II_SYSTEM environment variable and that you have set up your directory path to include the location of the installation:
1. At the operating system prompt, type:
set | find "II_SYSTEM"
You must see a valid pathname.
2. At the operating system prompt, type:
PATH
You must see the %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\bin and %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\utility directory paths.
3. At the operating system prompt, type:
dir % II_SYSTEM%\ingres\bin\vision*
You must see the name of a file. 
Linux: To check that you have defined the II_SYSTEM environment variable and that you have set up your directory path to include the location of the installation:
4. At the operating system prompt, type:
echo $II_SYSTEM
You must see a valid pathname.
5. At the operating system prompt, type:
echo $PATH
You must see the $II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin and $II_SYSTEM/ingres/utility directories. If you do not see these directories, you must add them to your path.
6. At the operating system prompt, type one or both of the following commands.
If you are running Vision, type:
ls -l $II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin/vision
If you are running ABF, type:
ls -l $II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin/abf
You must see the name of a file for which you have read and execute permission.
7. At the operating system prompt, type:
ls -l $II_SYSTEM/ingres/bin/iiabf
You must see the name of a file for which you have execute permission.
If Steps 1, 3, and 4 do not produce the results described above, consult your Ingres system administrator.
