weird and unexpected errors -908 on archecker
Posted in 2022
Eric Vercelletto's archecker table-level restore on 14.10.FC4 failed with -908 errors on a customer system. Art Kagel identified the root cause as error -1227, a message file not found, meaning the INFORMIXDIR path was wrong. Paul Watson agreed the environment was wrong. Eric concluded it was a messy install.

Hi Folks
I am working with archecker with the option of table level restore, which has been working fine on my lab systems.
I am now testing a script on my customer's staging system, with same ifmx version (14.10 FC4) which looks ok in terms of connections (dbaccess under the soctp INFORMIXSERVER works fine), onstat works fine etc...
but when I launch the same archecker script that works 'at home' I got the following log file, saying basically that I had errors -908 and the table has not been
captured nor restored

Eric:
I think that the -1227 error is the root cause:
$ finderr 1227-1227 Message file not found.
4GL cannot locate a file of message texts. The file should have a
suffix of .iem and be in the product directory, $INFORMIXDIR/msg.
Reinstall such files from the distribution materials. If you have
started to modify the user-message file, 4glusr.msg, check that its
compiled form has been replaced in the correct directory.
Something is not right with the path to INFORMIXDIR so archecker can't find the message files.

Sounds like you env is wrong somewhere, we know 908 is Attempt to connect to database server (servername) failed. But you are seeing -1227 instead 'cos it can't find the error message files Cheers Paul
