onstat -g con

we're running Informix 7.3 on HP-UX 11 when I run onstat -g con (show threads which are waiting on something) I see "netnorm" as the condition being waited for. This is documented as meaning "thread waiting for a request to be placed in network queue". Is this normal? Is that implying a network bottleneck? Thanks

Generally means that the thread (waiter) has no task pending at the time (i.e. doing nothing). e.g Start up dbaccess, connect to a database using a tcp connection and monitor it with onstat -g con. If the connection is a shared memory connection, the equivalent is "sm_read' Rudy "Parker, J" wrote: > we're running Informix 7.3 on HP-UX 11 > > when I run onstat -g con (show threads which are waiting on something) I see > "netnorm" as the condition being waited for.
