You can't get it through tbstat or tbmonitor -- these just read the config file (which is now gone). You need to reconstruct it. If you do a 'tbcheck -pr' (print the reserved pages) you should be able to pick most of the parameters out of there. Of course, you ought to be backing up the file pretty regularly. It's very important! vyao@dehavilland.ca wrote in message <7db1cu$ebq$1@news.xmission.com>... > >Try onmonitor->status->configuration and then output the config to a file > >Vivian > > > > > >Zeljan Silje <zeljan@laus.hr> on 03/24/99 08:11:41 AM > >To: Obnoxio The Clown <obnoxio@hotmail.com> >cc: informix-list@iiug.org (bcc: Vivian Yao/deHavilland/Bombardier) >Subject: Re: Lost tbconfig file > > > > >Obnoxio The Clown wrote: > >> >my customer is using AIX 3.2.5 and Informix 5.0?.
