RE: Help - ODs hangs during database creation ..

Hari, It seems your are using ODS or OWS. I think your LOGS are getting full, Have you checked the alerts in the Command Center? , Anyway, try to backup the current logical logs? And in the go to the command-line-utilities located in one of the Informix folders and run ontape to backup the logical logs continuosly. By the way, I am assuming the the drive E: is out of erros, I mean, OS i/o erros such as bad tracks. I hope this helps, Regards, Mario Estrada ---------- From: Hari Koduru [ESRI-Redlands][SMTP:hari@esri.com] Sent: Saturday, July 19, 1997 8:47 PM To: informix-list@rmy.emory.edu Subject: Help - ODs hangs during database creation .. Hello, I am running into a strange problem. I got this tape from the client with a database on it. They sent me the dbschema SQL for the schema. I tried it on UNIX - i.e., ran the SQL after creating the database. It ran just fine. I then tried to do the same thing on NT. The only difference being - I put the rootdbs on the C: drive and the entire dbspace which would take the database on the E: drive. I have never been able to run thru the SQL fully. It goes some distance and sits there forever. I killed the process and tried to drop the database - it wouldn't allow me to - ISAM record locked error. I cannot even drop individual tables that the SQL has already created. I brought the server down, shut the machine off. Nothing seems to help. It is and NT 4.0 workstation. Any help appreciated. Thanks. -Hari ---
