Online Workgroup Server on SCO 5.0.4 with onipcshm ✗ Answered: red (solid confidence) — Art Kagel says shared memory should work on all UNIX platforms and asks for the ONCONFIG/sqlhosts details to diagnose the -25580 network error, but no follow-up with those details (or a fix) appears in the archive.

Advisory only.

Hi, while trying out the Online Workgroup Server on a Compaq SCO 5.04 (128 MB, separate raw disk for database) : (Informix 1 month trial offer, we allready use SE extensively and would like a performance boost) I can oninit the database and use it with my existing ESQL/C-programs. when using NETTYPE ontlitcp Performance is low, though. I would like to try with shared memory for the local programs. But, according to the release notes this (apart from ontlispx) is the only supported protocol. When I try to oninit with NETT YPE onipcshm, I get an error stating there is a network error Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags; asfcode = '- 25580'.-25580 System error occurred in network function. Do I have to start from scratch with a reconfiguration of the root dbspace ? Or is interprocess communication just not supported on SCO for the workgroup server.

FAIK shared memory should work on ALL UNIX platforms. Post your ONCONFIG file and the appropriate lines from sqlhosts. Art S. Kagel
