Hi, please check if the two instances share configuration parameters which should be different: onconfig files: SERVERNUM DBSERVERNAME DBSERVERALIASES sqlhosts: INFORMIXSERVER-names pointing to the right server/port ? 4th field of shared memory connections different for the two instances ? Another thing to check: Running onstat -d for the two instances shows the different chunks for the instances ? If yes, run onstat - and onstat -l against the instance with problems, if you can see any blocking state or filled logical logs. Check the online log of the instances.
