Instance ID
The instance ID is a two-character code that identifies a specific instance on a node and allows all processes and images to be installed and shared successfully. The value of the instance ID is stored in the II_INSTALLATION environment variable.
In the default instance name Ingres II, the instance ID is II.
The first character of an instance ID must be a letter; the second character can be a letter or numeral. The default instance ID is II.
