Specify Additional Key: -k 

Use

When registering runtime libraries with IRCONF, it will not allow two identical versions of the same runtime library (in two different directories) to be identified on one computer. This may occur if you are running a test and production system on the same computer but with binaries from different directories.

If this is the case, use the option -k <key> to identify and locate the installations. Set the environment variable SAPDBINSTKEY to the value set in <key>, so that the applications use the version registered with this key.

Syntax

irconf -i -p <path> -k <key>

irconf -i –p /opt/sapdb/interfaces/precompiler/runtime/7.2 -k db_instance_name

Result

The system displays the path under which the version specified with <key> was registered.

/opt/sapdb/interfaces/precompiler/runtime/7.2 -> 7.2.04.00 db_instance_name
