Hi, I am running IDS 9.40 with HP-UX 11.11. On my test server, in $ONCONFIG I want to be able to have the Logical logs writing to /dev/null but the engine won't let me do this. I know I could do this in earlier versions of Informix and it's been a while since I've touched this stuff. Can I write logical logs to /dev/null and if so how? Thanks, Adam

CHanging the file does not modify the version of LTAPEDEV that's in shared memory which is the one that the engine will use to decide whether to clear the logs or wait for someone to back them up. Onmonitor will change the file AND the shared memory version. Art S. Kagel
