Hello, I have a problem with queries using all of the temp dbspace. We just moved to IDS 7.31 FC4 from IDS 7.30 UC3. The same queries run fine under the previous version of Dynamic Server but now a single query uses all the temp dbspace and then abends with -229. Ihave 2GB assign to temp dbspace which should be plenty. Is there some parameters in the onconfig file I should be adjusting?? Thanks for any help Here is my onconfig file: Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.FC4 -- On-Line -- Up 23:36:47 -- 977216s Configuration File: /usr/informix/etc/onconfig.bbudwprod #************************************************************************** # # INFORMIX SOFTWARE, INC. # # Title: onconfig.std # Description: Informix Dynamic Server Configuration Parameters # #************************************************************************** # Root Dbspace Configuration ROOTNAME rootdbs # Root dbspace nameROOTPATH /dev/vgfc4/rlvf401 # Path for device containing root dbspace ROOTOFFSET 0 # Offset of root dbspace into device (Kbytes) ROOTSIZE 80000 # Size of root dbspace (Kbytes) # Disk Mirroring Configuration Parameters MIRROR 0 # Mirroring flag (Yes = 1, No = 0) MIRRORPATH # Path for device containing mirrored root MIRROROFFSET 0 # Offset into mirrored device (Kbytes) # Physical Log Configuration PHYSDBS rootdbs # Location (dbspace) of physical log PHYSFILE 10000 # Physical log file size (Kbytes) # Logical Log Configuration LOGFILES 8 # Number of logical log files LOGSIZE 5000 # Logical log size (Kbytes) # Diagnostics MSGPATH /usr/informix/online.logbbudwprod # System message log file path CONSOLE /dev/console # System console messagepath ALARMPROGRAM /usr/informix/etc/no_log.sh # Alarm program path SYSALARMPROGRAM /usr/informix/etc/evidence.sh # System Alarm program path TBLSPACE_STATS 0 # System Archive Tape Device TAPEDEV /dev/rmt/0m # Tape device path TAPEBLK 20 # Tape block size (Kbytes) TAPESIZE 23400000 # Maximum amount of data to put on tape (Kbytes) # Log Archive Tape Device LTAPEDEV /dev/rmt/1m # Log tape device path LTAPEBLK 20 # Log tape block size (Kbytes) LTAPESIZE 7800000 # Max amount of data to put on log tape (Kbytes) # Optical STAGEBLOB # Informix Dynamic Server/Optical staging area # System Configuration SERVERNUM 3 # Unique id corresponding to a DynamicServer ie DBSERVERNAME bbudwprod # Name of default database server DBSERVERALIASES bbudwprod_tcp # List of alternate dbservernames NETTYPE # Configure poll thread(s) for nettype DEADLOCK_TIMEOUT 60 # Max time to wait of lock in distributed env.

Since I have made the same mistake also, might I point you to the paragraph above the DBSPACETEMP parameter. Use a colon to separate the dbspaces. Your query may be ignoring the parameter and using /tmp or rootdbs. That said, there are a number of conditions where DBSPACETEMP is not used, but rather rootdbs. The most notable is the server's creation of a temporary index on a temporary table (with no log) during a query. I was told this was a feature and not a bug. Seems hokey to me.
