IDS 9.20.UC4 Error Message
Hello All, I have just upgraded one of our systems from IDS 7.3 to IDS 9.20.UC4. All went according to plan except we now get the following error when we reset the engine. "Error Writing 'Universal Server Message Log' errno = 0/informix/online.log Error Writing 'Universal Server Message Log' errno = 0/informix/online.log" Can anyone shed any light? Cheers, Howard howard.jones@icl.com
Check the permissions on the MSGPATH and if it does not yet exist of the directory that is to hold it. Art S.

What are the permissions on /informix/online.log? Reporting errno=0 is odd, at best. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
This is a bogus error message. Informix knows about it and will fix it in 9.3x. However, I should warn you: Informix 9.20.UC4 for AIX 4.3.2 has several MAJOR bugs. After spending three months on 9.20.UC4 (& UC4X1) we are reverting back to 7.31.UC7. Informix tech support has (finally) admitted that to do the same job, 9.2 uses more resources than 7.3. The three worst things about 9.2: - performance under load is poor and it loads up easily. - engine crashes is you use a lot of varchars (fixed with the UC4X1 release) - there is a problem with the tempdbs writing a bad page header (crashes applications, not the engine). Unless you have the money to spend on extra hardware, the 9.2 release isn't worth it. (Note, I will miss Java SP's, fuzzy checkpoints, 128 char filenames & a few other really nice features. Its just not ready yet) "Jonathan Leffler" <jleffler@earthlink.net> wrote in message news:39C89B1D.E3EC79CC@earthlink.net... > "howard.jones" wrote: > > > I have just upgraded one of our systems from IDS 7.3 to IDS 9.20.UC4.
