Setting Parameters for Virtual Shared Memory with a Text Editor

You can use a text editor at any time to set the virtual shared-memory configuration parameters. Use the editor to locate the parameter in the file, enter the new value or values, and rewrite the file to disk.

Table 18 lists the ONCONFIG parameters that you use to configure the virtual portion of shared memory. For more information, see the chapter on configuration effects on memory in your IBM Informix: Performance Guide.
