Not enough room in ROOT DBspace
It looks like your physical log is taking up most of your space. I would imagine that this was moved and grown in your other instance. Dan -----Original Message----- From: ids-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:ids-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of STEVEN AB Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 201…
Technological Differences between HDR & RSS
In asynchronous mode (DRINTERVAL >= 0) there is little performance impact on the primary server from having an HDR secondary. In sychronous mode (DRINTERVAL -1) transactions on the primary must wait for the commit record to be transferred to the HDR secondary, processed, and ackn…
Re: ontape/onbar
You are right, ontape and onbar are not intended to allow you to recover individual dbspaces / databases at a *logical* level. Sure you can restore an individual dbspace but IDS will force you to replay the logs so that all dbspaces are consistent in time before it will let you a…

What prevents a RSS to roll forward as fast as its primary?
Hi, "What are these enormous figures in the 2nd column? Are they signed integer printed as unsigned? If so, what does negative queue size mean?" Yes the value is overflowing. Does a RSS_FLOW_CONTROL setting have any pitfall? As per https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/informix-servers/14.…
Drop table with no-logging mode

Things That Should Never Happen
Had a "fun" one today. We have a four-node cluster that features a primary, an HDR secondary (NEAR_SYNC mode), a regular RSS secondary and an RSS secondary with DELAY_APPLY=12H. The cluster is running a patched version, with three of the four nodes running 12.10.FC14XO but the pr…
LTAPEBLK influence on backup size to disk
Thank you for explanation Andreas. A couple more points then. - Do you know if the same padding blocks are also used with "onbar" backups? Online documentation says it ignores the LTAPEBLK value, but at the moment I have no way to check actual object sizes on a storage manager.…
Long Running Purge Script
Hi Art, one clarification, as this seems to be a slight, yet not uncommon misconception: DYNAMIC_LOGS in fact is meant to allow transaction rollbacks to complete, rather than prevent 'long transaction' rollbacks in the first place, i.e. this only will kick in when you're already …
Table Recycle Bin?

Rss impacting performance
If RSS_FLOW_CONTROL is definitely set to "-1" and not "0" then I'd look at DELAY_APPLY. Setting a non-zero value, even 1s or 2s, further decouples the RSS from the primary. You can change DELAY_APPLY dynamically. You might need to start looking at the wait states in "onstat -u" …
