Occassionally buildsmi fails, I don't think anyone knows why, during initialization or upgrade. It is safe to manually run $INFORMIXDIR/etc/buildsmi as user informix once the engine is online and as long as that run succeeds all is well. Art S.

I give up using IDS as manually running buildsmi yields the same result - process 983 p1 S 0:00 dbaccess - /opt/informix/etc/sysmaster hangs there and keeps generating error in /tmp/buildsmi.584 and buildsmi.out: 908: Attempt to connect to database server (ids1) failed.
