You should "set" TBCONFIG if you mean the environment variable. Better yet, just copy tbconfig.std to tbconfig (but leave it in INFORMIXDIR/etc). 2. After creating rootdbs via Unix, you must initialize the system (which will include changeing tbconfig parameters). The easiest way to do this is via tbmonitor, which leads to: 3. You MUST be user informix to be able to call up tbmonitor against an uninitialized system. Dave
