The directory contains files that is related to network files that the online creates. You can look on page 2-16 of the Guide to 7.1 Enhancements for more info. The problem that you seem to be having is that Informix can not create the /INFORMIXTMP directory at startup. Are you trying to bring up the instance as root or informix? If so, it may be some type of permission problem under the root directory. HTH -- Melvin Mariney, Informix DBA e-mail: melvin.mariney2@bridge.bellsouth.com
