BAR_IXBAR_PATH configuration parameter

Use the BAR_IXBAR_PATH configuration parameter to change the path and name of the ON-Bar boot file.

onconfig.std value: Not set in onconfig.std.
default value: UNIX™ or Linux™: $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ixbar.servernum; Windows™: %INFORMIXDIR%\etc\ixbar.servernum
range of values: Full path name for the ON-Bar boot file
takes effect: When ON-Bar or onsmsync starts; When you reset the value dynamically in your onconfig file by running the onmode -wf or equivalent SQL administration API command.

Usage

By default, the ON-Bar boot file is created in the %INFORMIXDIR%\etc folder on Windows and in the $INFORMIXDIR/etc folder on UNIX or Linux. The default name for this file is ixbar.servernum, where servernum is the value of the SERVERNUM configuration parameter.

For example, in an instance with the SERVERNUM configuration parameter equal to 41, the ON-Bar boot file is created by default with this path and name in UNIX:

BAR_IXBAR_PATH $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ixbarboot.41

You can change the path to create the file in another location. For example, if you want to create the ON-Bar boot file in the directory /usr/informix with the name ixbar.new, specify:

BAR_IXBAR_PATH=/usr/informix/ixbar.new
