Re: deadlock: logical log full

Use onmonitor to set the logical log tape device to wherever you want to write the logs (use /dev/null if you don't need to keep them...). Then run as user informix "ontape -a" This will write all used logs that are not part of a long transaction to tape, freeing them for future use. The hung processes then should take off running again, fat, dumb and happy. You don't have a long transaction that spans all of the logs do you?? If so, get out your archive tapes, you're hosed. greg Heike Heilbronn wrote: > > Hi > I work with Infomix Online Server 7.12 on OS Windows NT 4.0. > I got the error LOGICAL LOG IS FULL > > now I am in the deadlock situation, because I have to backup the logical > log. > This is not possible because the next logical log file is already used. > all log files are flaged U (used) > > how can I free the logical log ???? > > Thanks for your Help > Heike
