I have transfered an Informix 7.21 database from one to another (SAP on Solaris) system using an ontape archive. The problem I now have is the new system expect the DBID to be one thing ('prd') and the 'old' systems DBID was 'tst'. When SAP tries to connect to the system using DBID=prd it fails. If I try to connect as DBID=tst the connection is made but screws up everything else. Is there a way to change the DBID inside the db? Thanks in advance. moldovan@mmsi.com
