You can customize your ONCONFIG configuration file and environment variables to take advantage of the new features that Dynamic Server 10.0 introduced. When you initialize Dynamic Server 10.0, use the same configuration that the source database server used. After you observe the performance of Dynamic Server 10.0, you might want to adjust the configuration.
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.
Set the ALARMPROGRAM configuration parameter to either nothing or no_log.sh to prevent the generation of errors if the logical log fills during the conversion. For more details, see Initialize Dynamic Server 10.0. After the conversion, change the value of ALARMPROGRAM to log_full.sh.
If you use an optical storage manager, set the OPTICAL_LIB_PATH configuration parameter in the ONCONFIG file to the location of the optical storage manager library. For more information, see the IBM Informix: Optical Subsystem Guide.
If you use custom-code files with the High-Performance Loader, set the HPL_DYNAMIC_LIB_PATH configuration parameter in the plconfig file to the location of the shared library. For Dynamic Server 10.0, the default location of this library is $INFORMIXDIR/lib/ipldd09a.so. For more information, see the IBM Informix: High-Performance Loader User's Guide.
For information on how to configure Dynamic Server 10.0, see your IBM Informix: Dynamic Server Administrator's Guide. For information about environment variables, see the IBM Informix: Guide to SQL Reference. For information about how to tune the configuration parameters, see the IBM Informix: Dynamic Server Performance Guide.
