EXT_DIRECTIVES ONCONFIG PARAMETER CHANGE IS NOT REFLECTED IN ONLINE.LOG | |
| product: | |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - | |
| Problem description: | |
A change in the EXT_DIRECTIVES onconfig parameter is not
reflected or show in the online.log file like it should:
Onconfig parameter modified from to .
Here is the original value for EXT_DIRECTIVES:
Configuration Parameter Info
id name type maxlen units rsvd
tunable
231 EXT_DIRECTIVES INT4 2
min/max : 0,2
default : 0
onconfig: 2
current : 2
Changing the value dinamically won't also work as expected and
described in the documentation:
prompt$> onmode -wf EXT_DIRECTIVES=0
Configuration Parameter to be changed is not valid or not
supported
with this option.
One might change its value in the onconfig file and bounce the
engine:
prompt$> grep EXT_DIRECTIVES $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG
# EXT_DIRECTIVES - Controls the use of external SQL directives.
EXT_DIRECTIVES 0
prompt$> onmode -ky; sleep 5; oninit -v
New value:
Configuration Parameter Info
id name type maxlen units rsvd
tunable
231 EXT_DIRECTIVES INT4 2
min/max : 0,2
default : 0
onconfig: 0
current : 0
There's no change input in the online.log file. | |
