Save Copies of the Current Configuration Files

Save copies of the configuration files that exist for each instance of your source database server. Configuration files that you might have are listed in Table 19. Keep the copies available in case you need to use them.

While you can use an old ONCONFIG configuration file with Version 10.0, it is recommended that you use the new Version 10.0 ONCONFIG file, or at least examine the file for new parameters.

Table 19. Configuration Files to Save from the Source Database Server
UNIX or Linux	Windows
$INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG	%INFORMIXDIR%\etc\%ONCONFIG%
$INFORMIXDIR/etc/onconfig.std	%INFORMIXDIR%\etc\onconfig.std
$INFORMIXDIR/etc/oncfg*	%INFORMIXDIR%\etc\oncfg*
$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sm_versions	%INFORMIXDIR%\etc\sm_versions
$INFORMIXDIR/aaodir/adtcfg	%INFORMIXDIR%\aaodir\adtcfg.*
$INFORMIXDIR/dbssodir/adtmasks	%INFORMIXDIR%\dbssodir\adtmasks.*
$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts
$INFORMIXDIR/etc/tctermcap
$INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap

If you use ON–Bar to back up your source database server and the logical logs, you also need to save a copy of any important storage manager files as well as the following file:

UNIX or Linux:: $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ixbar.servernum
Windows:: %INFORMIXDIR%\etc\ixbar.servernum
