Java and Informix Dynamic Server 7.x
Hi friends! I am trying to do server-side java cgi programming to connect to I-ODS 7.x. Do you know how I can do that? I heard it is possible to use the jdbc-odbc bridge( intersolve or openlink's), but the performance is too slow, because of jdbc to odbc and odbc to jdbc convert…

Patrick, Type the command "onstat -c | more". This option prints a copy of the current configuration to the screen, but more importantly, the second line gives the path and filename of the current configuation in use. Tracy > > I see 2 onconfig files in my etc directory (sol …
Re: ONCONFIG
If you have to ask this you shouldn't attempt to modify the file. This is RTFM, very much so. You'll depend on knowing so much before tuning OnLine in this way that if you have missed this in the manuals, you may also have missed a lot of other info. Sorry for this. I don't mean …

Re: Interrupted 4GL reports bringing Informix off-line

Interrupted 4GL reports bringing Informix off-line
Hi, On our test systems we have noticed that when running 4GL reports via 4GL/GX or the command line, the OnLine (4.10) engine crashes intermittently when interrupted (eg by Ctrl-C): The problem seems to be that the sqlturbo process is holding a latch on a critical section when…
