Onmode -wm don't change some parametrs

Hello. I have Informix 14.10 and I am trying to use informix -wm to change onconfig options. But for example "onmode -wm RESIDENT=-1" works well, but "onmode -wm CLEANERS=4" shows me a message saying "The configuration setting to be changed is invalid or not supported with this option". Is there a way to change onconfig settings without editing the file? ------------------------------ Alexander Ivanov ------------------------------ #Informix

Hi Alexander, Some parameters in the ONCONFIG file cannot be changed dynamically when the Informix engine works. Unhappily, for the "cleaners" parameter, you have to modify your ONCONFIG file and restart your informix instance. You have the option "onstat -g cfg tunable" to know the parameters that you can change dynamically (an asterisk indicates that you can tune a configuration parameter dynamically). -- Franck Thomas ConsultiX franck.thomas@consult-ix.fr http://www.consult-ix.fr Téléphone : 33 (0) 1 39 12 18 00 Mobile : 33 (0) 6 78 81 09 33 Fax : 33 (0) 1 39 12 18 18 Le 20/10/2022 à 11:46, Alexander Ivanov via IBM Community a écrit :

For modifying the onconfig file, you'd have to use -wf (rather than -wm, for in-memory only) anyway. And yes, there are config parameters that only get evaluated at engine startup, so typically don't need to be tunable, i.e. not supported by 'onmode -w{m|f}'. CLEANERS is one of them. ------------------------------Andreas Legner ------------------------------
