- The "XX" in the WORKDIR logical is the installation id and is
- case sensitive. e.g. if II_INSTALLATION is set to "pk", then you
- want to set II_WORKDIR_pk_1, II_WORKDIR_pk_2, etc.
-
- The WORKDIR variable need to be pointed to the top of an INGRES tree.
- On UNIX, this will look like: .../ingres/work/default
-
- The II_WORKDIR variable is read only as startup time, so you will have
- to restart the server whenever you decide to change sort locations.
-
- Hope this helps.
