That, in turn, implies that there is a configuration problem of some sort (or maybe a resource exhaustion problem) and some process or other could not be created. Which process - that I don't know.

Hi, the error that you see in the ON-Bar activity log file (and in the ON-Bar debug log file) is not really specific to ON-Bar. The function producing the error is one of the XBSA library, i.e. provided by the storage manager. Therefore you may be able to get more information on this problem by looking on the storage manager side (e.g. logs written by the storage manager). ISM usually writes its own log files in the directory $INFORMIXDIR/ism/logs ...

Yes! I had already read the documentation of XBSA from XOpen, but error 0x= 03 (system error) didn't tell me any cue. After your sugestion, I found in $INFORMIXDIR/ism/applogs/xbsa.messag= es and the message "There is no pool named `ISMDataDisk'" so I realized = I misnamed the pool in onconfig=20 ISM_DATA_POOL ISMDiskData instead of ISMDataDisk After rename it, onbar is working.
