The default user (installation owner) is actian.

During installation, your Vector instance will be configured according to the settings you provide. Such settings include:

The easiest way to install Vector is to accept all the default values during the installation process.

The instance ID is a two-character code that identifies a specific instance. The value of the instance ID is stored in the II_INSTALLATION environment variable and is used when connecting to the instance remotely, in place of a port number.

The first character of an instance ID must be a letter; the second character can be a letter or numeral. The default instance ID is VH.

You must specify the time zone for your instance. This value is stored in the II_TIMEZONE_NAME environment variable.

Some systems use a default value for II_TIMEZONE_NAME. If you are in a different time zone from the default, you must change the value of II_TIMEZONE_NAME.

The II_TIMEZONE_NAME parameter tells Vector what adjustments to make for Daylight Savings Time. If you must make other adjustments for special time changes imposed in your area (such as for energy conservation purposes), you can use the zic time zone compiler provided in the distribution.

Time zone names are organized by world region. The regions and their time zone names comply with the IANA specification for world regions and associated time zone names. For more information about the IANA specifications, see http://www.iana.org/time-zones.

Time zones are subject to change. You can download the latest IANA time zone definitions during installation or use the definitions packaged with the installer. After installation, you can download and install the latest definitions using the iisuitz utility, described in the Command Reference section of the User Guide.

All Vector instances use the UTF8 character set. This setting cannot be changed. It is stored in the II_CHARSET environment variable.
