Re: Maximum number of chunks in 9.40, 2047 or 32766? [5776

Not a bug, it was described to me as a 'decision'. The docs were written saying there could be 32766 chunks and the message from onstat reflects that 'official' limit. Unfortunately, a programming decision was made at some point not to change the physical format of the page numbers and this has caused the former limit of 2047 chunks to be retained in all of the code. IBM is working on this. Most unfortunately, I discovered the 'problem' personally researching a presentation on IDS internals for the Denver IDUG/IIUG conference last spring using a release of 9.40 I was given pre-release. I reported it which stirred up a hornet's nest but it was too late to either fix the code or correct the manuals and onstat output. Art S. Kagel ----- Original Message ----- From: Kern Do <kern_doe@yahoo.com> At: 9/20 19:38 Hello everyone, 1) Version 9.40 still limits to 2047 chunks (onstat -d shows this figure), that is true, my test has confirmed that. 2) When issue onmode -BC 1/or 2 -- onstat -d shows 32766; however, my test of adding chunks always fail when the number of "active" from onstat -d is greater than 2045. The conclusion from my experiment (for my Informix version 9.40FC5X3 on HP-Ux 11.11) is that I can never have more than 2045 chunks or dbspaces in an instance regardless Informix onstat -d says 32766. Is it a bug? or what am I missing? Thanks in advance Kern --
