Re: problems in phys_logs allocation

Hi Steve, thanks for your response. I resolved my problem a few minutes ago, I'm using onmonitor tool to modify informix, I know that I can't modify everything, but it helps. I'm using digital unix 4.0e, running on a digital alpha server 2000 (a little old I know). Well, the news is that now I can't configure the logical logs partition, I don't know if it has to be configured before the physical log, but I'll try. Furthermore, it ask me to create a level 0 archive, and I have problems in my device configuration because I want to use a hard disk, not a tape. well, if you know something about logical log configuration I'll apretiate it too much. Thanks in advance.
