onmode -P: Unknown option

Hi, I start a drdaexec thread on IDS 11.5 FC6WE with the command 'onmode -P start $DRDA_SERVER'. The $DRDA_SERVER is an Alias in etc/sqlhosts: --------------------------------------- ids_hdw_dr drsoctcp host drdaexec --------------------------------------- The problem: How do I have to start the drdaexec thread on IDS 11.5 UC3WE? Here the command returns an error "onmode -P: Unknown option". The command "execute function task('start listen', 'ids_hdw_dr')" is not known on 11.5 UC3WE. Anyone have a good solution? Regards, Holger de Wall

To start the drda listener thread on 11.50.xC3 you need to add the line to you sqlhosts file, add the DBSERVERALIAS to your $ONCONFIG file, and you then need to bring your server off-line and then back up so that it rereads the sqlhosts file and will then start up the appropriate listener threads.

It works now. My mistake was the missing comma between the DBSERVERALIASES in the $ONCONFIG file. Because the listener thread was only started by 'onmode -P' in 11.50.xC6 I didn't notice this fault.
