IBM Informix OnLine Database Server Administrator’s Guide

To change the value of

 CKPTINTVL

 from the command line, use an editor to

edit the file specified by $

.

Change the value of

 CKPTINTVL

. Reinitialize shared memory (take OnLine

offline and then to quiescent mode) for the change to take effect.

The destination pathname is specified as

CONSOLE

in the configuration file.

You can make this change while OnLine is in online mode, but the changes
will not 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.

If you are logged in as user informix, you can make this change from within

DB-M

onitor or from the command line. If you are logged in as root, you must

use the command-line option.

If you make the change from within

DB-M

onitor, 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 within

DB-M

onitor, select the Parameters menu, Initialize

option to change the console message destination. In the field
labelled

System Msgs.

, enter the pathname. Press

ESC

 to record

changes.

When the screen of shared-memory parameters appears, press

ESC

to

save the rest of your configuration without changes.

When the prompt appears to confirm that you want to save the
changes to your configuration, respond

Y

 (yes).
