Re: Informix on NT or UNIX

Haveing been exposed to both operating systems, and your curretn version of Informix, Unix is the preference. One will have to take a closer look at you 'onconfig' configuration to truly get an increase in performance. Configuration varies vastly between real time and batch mode operations. A starting point is to monitor 'onmode -p' and check for buffer, lock and user waits and overflows and start tuning from there. Something else to look at is the duration of checkpoints. This will indicate whether you need to increase/decrease page cleaners & LRUS. Dennis Harding ( dennish @ wpr . co . za )
