I'd have to say I agree with Robert.  The best available source is the
manuals, and
these are online, but since Jeff doesn't indicate version numbers for
UniData, it s hard to provide the right URL.

Also, there is a document specifically about tuning UniData on AIX because
of
the special constraints that OS used to impose.  I have a copy of this, but
don't know if there is an updated version available now AIX has moved
forward
so far.  Wally?

If there isn't a more readily available version of this document, then I'll
happily email it direct to you Jeff, but you'll need to understand how AIX
has
changed lately so you can determine which bits are now less important.

AIX 4.3.3 to 5.3 in one bound is a big jump.  Are you keeping the same
UniData
Release?  Or is this a move to a new box that happens to have a new OS
release?

Do you use RFS or Journaling?  Replication, ODBC?  All these might make
demands
on how you set up your udtconfig.

If you'd like professional input on tuning the new system, then I'm sure
there
are guys in the US who offer consulting services and have experience with
this.
IBM do it, I know, and I think Strategy 7 do too.  Alternatively, if you can
provide me with access to the system remotely, then I'd be prepared to give
you
my input on a professional basis too.  Drop me a direct email if you want to
follow up on this.

Cheers,

Ken
