Also onmonitor has known bugs where it will change parameters without telling you when it should not! Description for Defect 112476 ONMONITOR WILL SAVE TXTIMEOUT VALUE IN HEX - THIS CAUSES IECC 4.0 TO ERROR "VALUE FOR TXTIMEOUT CONTAINS INVALID CHARACTERS" Workaround: Change the value in onconfig using vi to decimal Not fixed! Description for Defect 110428 ONMONITOR SET OPT_GOAL TO 4294967295 IN ONCONFIG Fixed in 9.21.xC1 Description for Defect 114197 PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS THAT DON'T HAVE A INTEGER VALUE CONFIGURED IN THE ONCONFIG FILE ARE DISPLAYED WITH VALUE -1 IN ONMONITOR The performance screen on onmonitor shows values of -1 for intefer performance parameters that don't have a default value configured in the onconfig file. You have to specify a valid value on these fields to proceed, and you can not leave them with a blank space, altough the message says that you can. FIxed in 9.31.xC4 Description for Defect 103838 ONMONITOR EATS SQLMUX ENTRY Fixed in 9.30.xC1 PS Art:- Description for Defect 118234 WITH ENGINE IN ONLINE MODE, CHANGING LTAPEDEV TO /DEV/NULL DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY FLAG LOGS "B" AS EXPECTED When shared memory is initialized with LTAPEDEV = /dev/null logical logs are flagged "B" when full or when logs changed by onmode -l. If LTAPEDEV changed, whether via onmonitor orin onconfig file, to an actual device, the change takes effect immediately. However, when changed back to /dev/null, whether by onmonitor or onconfig, the flagging of logs as "B"acked up does not take place. Subsequently, logical logs can fill unless an ontape -a or ontape -s is performed, or unless the engine is bounced. Not fixed!!

All right all right, I have been properly chastised (sound of hand being slapped) :-p I now know better than to use onmonitor for anything but status.
