Re: Swapping 'ontapes' from system to system

This could be related to a bug I've posted about prevously. Try changing the tape parameter via onmonitor. When you pull it up, it may already show the device indicated in the Onconfig file. Hit <esc> to save the value to the reserve page. Try `ontape` again. Richard Moldovan wrote: > I need to clone one Informix DB to another system.
