Not on the same machine? Onstat only works if you are on the same machine as the server. mars1972@my-deja.com wrote: > > Anybody have any idea why I'm getting the message 'Shared Memory not > Initialized' when I run onstat, but I can run dbaccess and connect to > the database just fine? > > I'm running 9.21TC3 on Windows2K. > > -- > # unrm / > ksh: unrm: not found > # man cpio > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ > Before you buy.

Given that you're on Win2K (and I'll omit snide comments that the problem might simply be the platform you're running on), then you might run into trouble if you need extra privileges to access the shared memory (run onstat), or it may still be a variant of 'not on the same machine' whereby the Informix environment is set to the wrong INFORMIXDIR, or ONCONFIG, or something along those lines. I'd have given Barry's answer if he hadn't already done so. > Barry Lloyd wrote: > > > Not on the same machine?
