When you reset the value dynamically in your onconfig file by running the onmode -wf or equivalent SQL administration API command.

Usage

For example, if you set BAR_PERFORMANCE to 3, ON-Bar reports the time spent transferring data between the HCL Informix® instance and the storage manager, in the activity log. If you set BAR_PERFORMANCE to 0 or do not set it, ON-Bar does not report performance statistics.
  • To turn performance monitoring off, set the value to 0. This is the default.
  • To display the time spent transferring data between the Informix® instance and the storage manager, set the parameter to 1.
  • To display timestamps in microseconds, set the parameter to 2.
  • To display both timestamps and transfer statistics, set the parameter to 3.
