Use the onconfig_diff utility to compare two onconfig files.

Syntax


Element	Description
-d	Compares the current onconfig settings to the default settings.
-c	Compares one onconfig file to another.
-f `filepath_1`	Specifies the first file name to compare. Provide the path to the file unless the file is in the $INFORMIXDIR/bin directory.
-s `filepath_2`	Specifies the second file name to compare. Provide the path to the file unless the file is in the $INFORMIXDIR/bin directory.

Usage

Run the onconfig_diff utility to compare two different onconfig files. The onconfig_diff utility is in $INFORMIXDIR/bin.

The two files that you want to compare must be in the same directory.

Here are some ways that you can use the utility:

Compare your current onconfig with the onconfig.std of same version.
Compare your current onconfig with the onconfig.std of a newer version.
Compare two onconfig files from different servers.

Example

In this example, the onconfig.std file is compared against the onconfig.production file:

$ onconfig_diff -c -f onconfig.std -s onconfig.production

Here is the output from this command:
