RE: Receiving "Changing data structure forced command termination." from onstat!
Bryan
This could be normal activity because the SMI tables are being changed at
the time you requested information (onstat) from them. The message is
information only, telling you that you dont have all the information
available.
There was a bug in early 7 engines (e.g 7.14) whereby this would always
occur if you had a user connected to the engine from a PC with a name
greater than 8 characters. Limit the length of PC names or upgrade the
engine here.

Thanks Sanjeev.
Unfortunately, fuser didn't show anything.
A note of clarification, onstat (-g ses, -g ath, and others) will show a
number of threads prior to giving error message: "Changing data structure
forced command termination."
Anyone other ideas? Anyone else seen this before?
TIA...
