Re: Runaway dbaccess process

It is know bugs in Informix. This I got from my local Informix office. Bug: 37430 WHEN PARENT PROCESS DIES THE CHILD PROCESS ACCUMULATES CPU TIME; IT HANGS ON A READ() SYSTEM CALL WHICH RETURNS 0 BYTES (TERMINAL DIES FOR EXAMPLE) Date: 1995-02-23 Category: 4GL Type: SW Submitter: pintus Description: The problem is that a 4GL application who is logged on to a database terminates its connection (the terminal dies) to the database without logging off. The user logging off without disconnecting has the read() system call hanging. It returns 0. See /pts/bugs/37430/README This is fixed in 4GL version 6.02. Dbaccess is coded in 4GL. for Bug: 57230 7.20.UC2 - DBACESS SESSION CONNECT THEN CLOSE WINDOW AND SESSION/PROCESS SIGNAL IS NOT CAUGHT AND STOPPED. CPU IS STILL GIVEN TO SESSION Date: 1996-08-14 Category: DBACCESS Type: SW Submitter: donh Description: In 7.12.uc1 a dbaccess session terminates if the client dies or window is closed. This also happens in an isql session. In 7.20.uc2 this functionality is not working for dbaccess although isql 6.03.uc2 still terminates This is fixed in OnLine 7.22.UC1 Bjarne W. Jensen /Alm. Brand
