How to Set Up Multiple Residency
Step 2: Edit the Configuration File for the New OnLine
Use an operating-system editor to edit the parameters in the new configu-
ration file. Donot use DB-Monitor forthis task. If youuse DB-Monitor, you will
editthe values oftheexisting OnLine configurationfile,and not thenewone
as you intend. (DB-Monitor accesses the OnLine configuration indicated by
TBCONFIG at the time.)
In the new configuration file, change the following four configuration
parameters:
■ ROOTPATH
■ SERVERNUM
■ DBSERVERNAME
■ MSGPATH
ROOTPATH
The ROOTPATH parameter specifies the location of the root dbspace for this
OnLine databaseserver. The root dbspace location mustbe uniquefor every
OnLine configuration.
Important: YoucanusethesamevalueforROOTPATHifyouarenestingseveralroot
dbspaceswithin the ROOTPATH partition.Thatis,ifthe value ofROOTSIZE andthe
ROOTOFFSET define a unique portion of the partition, multiple OnLine database
servers can share the same ROOTPATH.
If the root dbspace is mirrored, you must also ensure that the location of the
root dbspace mirror, is unique. (The same situation exists if you are nesting
severalmirrorswithinthe same partition.MIRRORPATH neednotbe unique.)
Refer to page 1-21 for more general information about setting the value of
ROOTPATH and page 1-24 for more information about MIRRORPATH. Also
consider whether offsets to the root dbspace or its mirror are required. If
offsets are needed, specify them with the ROOTOFFSET and MIRROROFFSET
parameters.
