IECC Server Agent 3.0 service on NT problems: Solution
Posted in 1999
Dear all, Just found why IECC Server Agent 3.0 service on NT stops working on many sites, no thanks to Informix support. Not the first time, ether, we are hitting simple UNIX/DOS file format stupidity. Apparently, some tool (I thing IECC itself) witch is writing to the ONCONFIG, changes format of the file to UNIX format. That is the same tool that erases all blank lines in ONCONFIG. So, if you have problems starting IECC Server Agent 3.0 service on NT, and there are no blank lines in ONCONFIG, check the file format. Would some kind soul at Informix please add this to the support database, or even better, to the bug list? It really !@#$%^&!!! me off that after that many time on NT, such an excellent product can fail because something like this. Again. And again.
