Workaround, pending bugfix 57173 in DEC port of Informix 7.20?

We are suffering from a bug (57173) in the version of Informix we are using. (DEC dUnix3.2C, Informix 7.20UC3) I wonder if anyone has a tip for a workaround? The SMI table 'syssessions' is always empty. What I want is to get at the active session numbers from an ESQL/C application running on a remote client. This inhibits me from using 'onstat' and like tools. The advice from Informix support is to wait for version 7.22 which will fix the bug. However without a definite date for that bugfix release and my own release date creeping up on me, I would be much calmer with a working workaround while waiting. I would of course like to have information on the sessions, such as what user and what remote machine is using it. Having only the session numbers would be a viable workaround pending the bugfix though. /Johan -- ________________________________________________________________________ | >>> The opinions herein are mine and not neccessarily my employers <<< | | Johan Andersson, Msc CSE jna@carmenta.se | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
