Hi Has anyone had the following problem with the Informix Dynamic Server running on SGI computer with IRIX 6.5.22? We have Informix Dynamic Server 9.21.UC2 running on an SGI IRIX 6.5. After the Operating system was upgraded from 6.5.18 to 6.5.22 the IDS Server stopped working. The Server appeared to be up but access to databases on the computer froze up our applications. Utilities like onmonitor, ontape and dbaccesswould not work. It appears that the network connectivity to Informix will not work. We could connect out to Servers on other computers but we could not connect to the Server on the computer upgraded either from on the computer or from remote computers. Has any one had this or a similar problem? We have a case with Informix #403500 but they do not know what the problem is. Informix had us re-install the software but it still would not work. We were hoping that we would not have to upgrade our Informix software. The only way we could get Informix Server to work correctly was to bring it up in shared_menory mode. We can now get our informix programs to work and we can connect to databases on the computer and can connect to other computers. But this means we to not have access to the databases from remote computers. Don Rieger ASDC NASA Langley

What messages do you get in online.log? syslog? Can dbaccess connect via a network connection? I assume this is TCP/IP? export INFORMIXCONRETRY=1 export INFORMIXCONTIME=1 and try again...Informix takes ages to timeout before giving an error normally.. truss (or whatever the equivalent is under IRIX) the dbaccess process and all the engine processes and set if any system calls fail!! > Don Rieger > ASDC NASA Langley
