Hi! When I log onto NT as informix I can start informix (oninit). When I try to start informix as a different user I get: D:\\informix\\bin>oninit Only user informix can start Informix Dynamic Server. Does anyone know of a way around this? TIA! Roger

You may want to verify that this user has the privileges to start Informix. If you goto the user manager, under admin tools. Double click on the user to look at its properties. Now, click on the groups button on the bottom left hand corner. There should be an Informix group in the list, you want to make sure you are a member of that group. I guess go ahead and try to start it again under this other username, hopefully it will start. I hope this is of some help!!!!!!! Roger F.

Hi! I ran across a readme that said to not use oninit, but to go to NT services and start the server there. That allows me to start the server as informix even though I am running as administrator... Thanks!

You also can start informix as service, command: net start "informix Dynamic Server" or net start ol_servername Informix-Service must logon with user-account "informix" you can see all started services with net start also you can stop each service with net stop <service-name> mfg lindenthal
