All of the 5.xx utilities are available, they were just renamed from tb????? to on????? so tbmonitor became onmonitor. There are three archive options in IDS 7.xx, ontape, onarchive, and onbar. Ontape is fine and simple and highly improved over 5.xx (ex the engine no longer hangs if a checkpoint occurs while waiting for a tape change). Onarchive is an improvement but clunky, hard to manage and not reliable. Onbar, which replaces onarchive, is better yet but you need to puchase a third party backup package to interface with it. > - I need some services to be started , so that my New-era application > can connect to the server.

If you define a DBSERVERALIAS or SERVERNAME in the ONCONFIG file that corresponds to a network connection in the sqlhosts file then engine will automatically start one or more listener threads. You will probably need an updated version of Informix Connect on the PC however. Art S. Kagel
