Re: Linux and Informix IDS ontape
Hi,
Yes the buildsmi script file has a problem in it. The original
sysmaster.sql file would not load when it hit the statement below.
database sysmaster exclusive;
so after some debugging I changed the statement to
database sysmaster@servername exclusive;
That does the trick. The next step was to reinitialize the rootdbs and the
sysmaster and sysutils was created without any error message but the
problem of not being able to backup is still a problem. The two
environment variables INFORMIXDIR and INFORMIXSERVER is setup properly.
What else could be wrong ?
Regards,
Kueh.
