Regenerate .infos or .infxdirs File:
|-- -R--+----------+--------------------------------------------|
+-infos----+
'-infxdirs-'
| Element | Purpose | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| -R | Re-creates the .infos.dbservername file. | Additional Information: For more information, see .infos.dbservername. |
| Re-creates the file INFORMIXTMP/.infxdirs and removes invalid directories from it. | Additional Information: The .infxdirs file is used in database server discovery. This file contains a line for every INFORMIXDIR from which a database server has been launched. For more information, see .infxdirs. |
The database server uses information from the .infos.dbservername file when it accesses utilities. The database server creates and manages this file, and you should never need to do anything to the file. However, if .infos.dbservername is accidentally deleted, you must either re-create the file or reinitialize shared memory.
