RE: KAIO variable - usage?

I've never heard of a KAIO environment variable. Kernel IO is engine based, not session based. In other words it is the engine that would use such an environment variable not a session. Set whatever the variable is before you boot your engine. There is a variable that is close to "KAIO" that is KAIOOFF. if you export KAIOOFF=1 before booting your engine (not sure if this holds true for 7.x and 9.x but it does for 8.x), then your engine will use AIO instead of KAIO. cheers j. > -----Original Message----- > From: j.ebert@hhpv.de [mailto:j.ebert@hhpv.de] > Sent: Monday, December 18, 2000 6:24 AM > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: KAIO variable - usage? > > > How does the KAIO environment variable work? > > When it is set to 1 in the shell that starts the database by running > oninit - is KAIO used for all processes for all users? > > Or do I have to set it in any shell that should use KAIO? > > Thank you, Jens >

Some platforms have a KAIOON variable. I *think* older releases of HP-UX are affected. >> -----Original Message----- >> From: j.ebert@hhpv.de [mailto:j.ebert@hhpv.de] >> >> How does the KAIO environment variable work? >> >> When it is set to 1 in the shell that starts the database by running >> oninit - is KAIO used for all processes for all users? >> >> Or do I have to set it in any shell that should use KAIO? >> >> Thank you, Jens >>
