Preparation for using the onmode -b command

Before you use the onmode -b command, notify users that you are going to bring the database server offline. The reversion utility forcibly removes all users and shuts down the database server.

The onmode -b command includes an implicit -yuk command.

Make sure that the INFORMIXSERVER environment variable is set to the correct database server.

UNIX/Linux Only

You must be user root or user informix to run onmode.

Windows Only

You must be a member of the Informix-Admin group to run onmode.
