Change Database Server Mode:
|--+- -k-+------------------------------------------------------|
+- -m-+
+- -s-+
+- -u-+
'- -j-'
| Element | Purpose | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| -k | Takes the database server to offline mode and removes shared memory | Additional Information: To reinitialize
shared memory, shut down and restart the database server.
References: See Taking the Database Server to Offline Mode with the -k Option. |
| -m | Takes the database server from quiescent or single-user mode to online mode | References: See Bringing the Database Server Online with the -m Option. |
| -s | Shuts down the database server gracefully | Additional Information: Users
who are using the database server are allowed to finish before the database
server comes to quiescent mode, but no new connections are allowed. When all
processing is finished, -s takes the database server
to quiescent mode. The -s option leaves shared memory
intact.
References: See Shutting Down the Database Server Gracefully with the -s Option. |
| -u | Shuts down the database server immediately | Additional Information: This option
brings the database server to quiescent mode without waiting for users to
finish their sessions. Their current transactions are rolled back, and their
sessions are terminated.
References: See Shutting Down the Database Server Immediately with the -u Option. |
| -j | Puts the database server into single-user mode | Additional Information: This option
brings the database server to single-user mode, allowing the informix user all functions including the issuance of SQL and DDL commands.
References: See your IBM Informix Administrator's Guide. |
