[SHARE] How to rename IQMSG file on existing IQ.

Hi,

We sometimes need to rename the iqmsg file.

Here are steps to rename the iqmsg file

1) Find a dbfile name with sysdbfile.

   >> select * from sysdbfile ;

   dbfile_id,dbspace_id,dbfile_name,file_name,lob_map

   16386,16386,'IQ_SYSTEM_MSG',/home1/iq154/DEV/TEST.iqmsg,

2) Rename the iqmsg file using alter dbspace command as follows.

   ALTER DBSPACE IQ_SYSTEM_MSG

   ALTER FILE IQ_SYSTEM_MSG -- dbfile_name

   RENAME PATH '/home1/iq154/DEV/TEST_NEW.iqmsg’; -- NEW IQMSG FILE PATH/NAME

3) Need to restart IQ.

    You can verify the renamed iqmsg file after rebooting IQ.

    >> ls -al *.iqmsg

    /home1/iq152/DEV>> ls -al *.iqmsg

         -rw-r--r--   1 iq152      syb        23140744 Feb 12 17:11 TEST.iqmsg

         -rw-r--r--   1 iq152      syb          55815 Feb 12 17:25 TEST_NEW.iqmsg

4) Please remove or move the old iqmsg file.
