flags in the processing log

Hi, From time to time we have aborted processes or aborted processes which appear to cause aborts of the Online Engine that is running. 12:51:12 Checkpoint Completed 15:02:24 Process Aborted Abnormally: pid=27573 user=13335 us=6012a0 flags=201 15:57:52 Checkpoint Completed 11:38:08 Checkpoint Completed 11:41:52 Process Aborted Abnormally: pid=21113 user=18661 us=601388 flags=221 11:43:29 Checkpoint Completed 13:26:56 Checkpoint Completed 13:32:16 Process Aborted Abnormally: pid=21847 user=18661 us=6011b8 flags=221 13:32:16 Process Aborted Abnormally (latch): pid=21847 user=18661 flags=221 13:32:16 INFORMIX-OnLine entering ABORT mode!!! 13:32:28 INFORMIX-OnLine Stopped We are using INFORMIX-OnLine 4.00.UE1 on a Silicon Graphics 4D/320. We have two instances of the Online engine running. Aborts of the process or engine instance do not appear to cause problems to the other engine(thank- fully). They do happen to both engines though. Many times, but not always they happen during a dbload, or while altering a table or building/ rebuilding an index on a recently altered or loaded table. Does anyone know what the "us" and "flags" values are trying to tell me? Other values for the flags that I have seen are a01, 2a01, 4104, 20001, and 1. Thanks for any information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diane Telford edt@mbunix@mitre.org (617) 271-3036 _________________________________________________________________________
