Change the Destination of Console Messages
To change the value of CKPTINTVL from the command line, use an editor to
edit the file specified by$ INFORMIXDIR/etc/$TBCONFIG.
Change the value of CKPTINTVL. Reinitialize shared memory (take OnLine
offline and then to quiescent mode) for the change to take effect.
Change the Destination of Console MessagesThedestination pathname is specified as CONSOLE in the configuration file.
You can make this change while OnLine is in online mode, but the changes
willnot take effect until you reinitialize shared memory (take OnLine offline
and then to quiescent or online mode).
You specify an explicit pathname for the message destination. The default
destination is/dev/console.
Ifyou are logged in as user informix, you can make this change from within
DB-Monitoror from the command line. If you are logged in as root, you must
use the command-line option.
Ifyou make the change from within DB-Monitor, you risk inadvertently reini-
tializing OnLine and destroying all data. This risk is present because the
CONSOLE parameter is accessed through the Initialize option of the Param-
eters menu.
From DB-Monitor
1. From withinDB-Monitor, select the Parameters menu, Initialize
option to change the console message destination. In the field
labelledSystem Msgs., enter the pathname. Press ESC to record
changes.
2. Whenthe screen of shared-memory parameters appears, press ESC to
save the rest of your configuration without changes.
3. When the prompt appears to confirm that you want to save the
changes to your configuration, respondY (yes).
