Location Variables that Do and Do Not Require Unloading

When you need to change the value of an installation location variable, the procedure depends to some extent on the underlying operating system. On Linux and Windows, the procedure also depends on whether the change requires unloading the database.

You can change the ING_ABFDIR location value without unloading the installation.

The values of the following locations are stored in the configuration file “aaaaaaaa.cnf” of each database at the time it is created and can only be changed by unloading each database, re-installing Actian X and reloading the databases (thus creating a new configuration file):

• II_SYSTEM

• II_DATABASE

• II_CHECKPOINT

• II_JOURNAL

• II_DUMP

• II_WORK

Change the Value of the ING_ABFDIR Variable

To change the installation default for ING_ABFDIR:

1. Shut down Actian X with ingstop.

2. Change the value of ING_ABFDIR with the ingsetenv command.

3. Restart the installation with ingstart.

Note: Application developers who do not want to use the installation default can redefine ING_ABFDIR in their local user environment.
