Broken Informix?
Posted in 1993
Hello All! I have two questions. Actually, they concern two problems, and I am wondering if anyone else has seen this odd behavior. Software: Online 4.10.UF3 ESQL/C 4.10.UC1 DCOSX 1.1c062 Hardware: Pyramid MIS-S Odd Behavior #1 Running more than one tbload at a time causes the error: "Error Inserting Into System Catalogs" "ISAM Error: duplicate value for a record with a unique key" I think you should be able to run simultaneous tbloads. I know each database has its own set of system catalog tables. Is there a mother of all tables that is causing the problem? If so, is there a workaround. Odd Behavior #2 Intermittantly, error messages normally slated for the Online error log end up in redirected output. For example, a programmer was running a conversion program (that contained ESQL/C), and redirecting the output to a file. The file ended up containing messages that "Logical Logs are Full -- Backup is Needed", exactly as they look in the error log. During this time period, nothing of this sort appeared in the error log. I have seen other flavors of this in the last few weeks, and am getting concerned. Has anyone seen such behavior, or have a solution?
