IDS-PE and NT4 Workstation
Graham Webb reported IDS-PE hanging at engine start on NT4 Workstation after Service Pack 5, though it worked under SP3, and asked how to change the shared memory address. Andrej Falout said the cause was Microsoft changing system-log write security, not shared memory, and that PE would get no support beyond SP3. No fix was given.

Has anybody had problems running IDS-PE on an NT4 Workstation using Service Pack 5 ????? It works fine under SP3, but as soon as SP5 is installed it hange when you try to bring the engine up. I think the problem is related to the default shared memory address. Can anybody tell me how to change this address, and if so, what it should be changed to?

No, problem is related to MS changin security methind for writing in system log. Not can do. IDS-PE is dead, like so many other Informix product invented to be left to die soon after birth, thanks to good strategy and clear leadership. There will be no >SP3 support for PE, end there will be no PE updates. I think Workgroup IDS is also dead, but I think there is also something like 'developers edition'. Good night, PE. -- Yours, Andrej Falout, http://www.falout.com ICQ 7628616 ++64.21.607517 #----------------------------------------------------------------- globals "std_disclaimer.4gl" Ask yourself just one question: ' Qu' m's se puede hacer y aprender ? - Propellerhead ReBirth RB-338 manual
