Re: strange error IDS 2000

Hello Informix User Friends as per my best knowledge ASF error due 2 Server Name of Server Aliases name not found Please Check 1) INFORMIXSERVER parameter in environment, 2) $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts 30 /etc/services [ oninit: Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags; asfcode = '-25580'. ] Matthew Denny <mdenny@EECS.Berkeley.EDU> on 22/09/2000 12:28:47 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org, engines@iiug.org cc: (bcc: Dhiren Dave/NARODA/RIL) Subject: strange error IDS 2000 I am running Informix Dynamic Server 2000 Version 9.20.UC1 on RedHat Linux 6.2, and when I was running my ESQL/C applications (INFORMIX-ESQL Version 9.30.UC1) , I started to get seg faults in strange places all of a sudden. When I tried to bring down then restart the DBMS using oninit, I got : oninit: Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags; asfcode = '-25580'. When I looked this error code up in the docs, it stated: -25580 System error occurred in network function. A system call has failed. For assistance, contact your system administrator or Informix Technical Support. This is very surprising since my ESQL apps run locally via IPC and shared mem, and has worked fine in the past for this app. Does anyone know what might be causing this? The docs seem very terse on the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Matt
