The Role of the ONCONFIG Environment Variable

The parameters in an ONCONFIG configuration file describe each instance of the database server. The ONCONFIG environment variable specifies the name of the current ONCONFIG configuration file. The following configuration parameters should have unique values for each database server:

• DBSERVERALIASES (if used)
• DBSERVERNAME
• MIRRORPATH
• MSGPATH
• ROOTPATH
• SERVERNUM

For instruction on setting these parameters, see Using Multiple Residency.
