Real basic oncheck onmonitor question

Hi everyone. Please pardon my basic generic question here-just trying to be careful. I want to 'play' around with oncheck and onmonitor in a dev environment a bit. So I have the Informix 9.4 admin manual that talks about these utuils. Here's my question..with oncheck it is safe to use as long as one does do use a repair option? Is that correct? And with onmonitor...as one just uses onmonitor to view objects, again no harm can be expected? Is that correct? I appreciate any responses. Thanks

With oncheck you're safe with the -p options, with onmonitor you're safe as long as you don't go into the Parameters menu (which is disabled for users other than informix) or if you do, don't save any changes. To safely look what config parameters are being used use onstat -c.

You are correct. MM
