Set configuration parameters for the ontape utility

The ontape utility uses eight configuration parameters in the onconfig file. Two of the configuration parameters specify filter programs for transforming data during backup and restore; the other six are used to create storage-space and logical-log backups.

The onconfig file is located in the $INFORMIXDIR/etc directory. You specify that file in the ONCONFIG environment variable. For a description of the ONCONFIG environment variable and instructions on how to set it, see the IBM® Informix® Guide to SQL: Reference.
