.

If you are logged in as user informix or root, you can make this change from
the command line. This option is not available from within

DB-M

onitor.

You can make this change while OnLine is in online mode.

To immediately enforce residency of shared memory, execute tbmode -r. This
enforces shared-memory residency without affecting the value of the config-
uration file parameter

RESIDENT

.

To immediately end forced residency of shared memory, execute tbmode -n.
This ends residency without affecting the value of

RESIDENT

.

This change does not take effect until you reinitialize shared memory. If you
want the new setting to take effect immediately, refer to

The values that you specify for the

RESIDENT

parameter depend on whether

you are making the change through

DB-M

onitor or by editing the configu-

ration file.

You can make this change while OnLine is in online mode, but it will not take
effect until you reinitialize shared memory (take OnLine offline and then to
quiescent or online mode).
