IBM Informix OnLine Database Server Administrator’s Guide

OnLine prompts you for confirmation that you wish to initialize immediately
using these current values:

Do you really want to continue? (y/n)
WARNING: The root dbspace will be initialized.
All previous data will be destroyed.

When you initialize OnLine starting from the

DB-M

onitor Initialize option

(disk parameters screen), you are initializing both disk space and shared
memory. When you initialize disk space, you automatically re-create a new
OnLine database server and destroy all existing data in that space.

Enter

 y

 to direct the tbinit process to initialize both OnLine disk space and

shared memory.

If you enter

n

, the changed parameter values are retained in the configuration

file and

DB-M

onitor returns to the Parameters menu.

If you receive any error messages as OnLine attempts to initialize, turn now
to

. Otherwise, OnLine displays messages as the initialization

proceeds. When initialization is complete, OnLine is in quiescent mode.

After OnLine is initialized, continue with the remaining tasks to prepare your
system to receive data:

■

Set your environment variables

■

Modify UNIX startup and shutdown scripts, if desired

■

Create blobspaces and additional dbspaces, if desired

You already set the

INFORMIXDIR

 and

PATH

 environment variables before

you loaded the software. This section instructs you in setting two additional
environment variables:

The pathname of the database server

The OnLine configuration file
