onstat -x and sysmaster:systrans
WOW! I feel so anachronistic! Here folks are discussing release 15 and "large tables" and I'm back in release 12! I am almost certain Lester K must have posted a query about this but I can't find it. So I ask the community: Here's a sample of output from onstat -x , filtered …
Long transaction message discusses a strange number
Hi Jake, for matching " Aborting Long Transaction: tx: 0x1d298fba8 ..." with onstat -x, simply go by this tx address. The tx_id's use, for the user, mainly is to identify the transaction in onlog output, in combination with LSN info (log unique ID + log position within that log).…
12.10.FC15W1AWE Blocked in LONGTX
Could it be that the rollback was still going, but had hit the LTXEHWM threshold? onstat -x would have shown some movement if that was the case. If the logs had got to the point where the next log had an open transaction, you could have tried adding logs manually with onparams -…

Re: onmode -z doesn't work
If the instance is blocked and you are sure that it's not still rolling back after "onmode -z" or "Long Transaction Aborted": 1) get the user thread address from "onstat -u"; 2) use that to get the transaction address from "onstat -x"; 3) try terminating the transaction with "on…

Transaction Timing
Hi guys, Is there any way you can measure how much time and how much log space a transaction will take? I'm on an Informix-online 5.05 engine, live environment, better not to alter the program. Thank you. SEAN (swong@kato.den.csci.csc.com)…

Thomas; I believe that, by default, Informix Transactions will "span" spawned processes. So, if Process A starts a transaction and then spawns Process B, both A and B are running under the same Transaction. Thus, if Process B performs a ROLLBACK, both A's and B's updates are r…
