Re: Converting from SE to Online

Check you log file status. They might be full! That would stop a dbimport! And I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't give an error message. To save this embarrassment until all the data is loaded try archiving your logs to /dev/null but remember to set it back again afterwards. > Hi, > > I am new to Informix and I am looking for some advice on transferring > from an Informix SE database to Informix Online.
