The ONCONFIG environment variable
specifies the name of the active file, called the onconfig file,
which holds the configuration parameters for the database server.
This file is read as input during the initialization procedure.
After you prepare your onconfig configuration
file, set the ONCONFIG environment variable to
the name of this file.
filename
is the name of your onconfig file in the %INFORMIXDIR%\etc\%ONCONFIG% or $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG directory
This
file contains the configuration parameters for your database.
To prepare the onconfig file,
make a copy of the onconfig.std file and modify
the copy. Name the onconfig file so that it can
easily be related to a specific database server. If you have multiple
instances of a database server, each instance must have
its own uniquely named onconfig file.
If
the ONCONFIG environment variable is not set,
the database server reads the configuration values from the onconfig file
during initialization.
