SQL Error messages

OK, I give up. I have administered Informix engines far and wide, and yet I am faced with a rather simple problem but the solution eludes me. Maybe the list can help. If you can send mail to me at peb@scdipc0.ueci.com, I would appreciate and will summarize to the list. Thanks in advance. ----- I installed the I-STAR product onto our development machine (Sun IPC). Just after I finish the install, one of the programmers is getting error messages from the engine. I checked all permissions, including the dbspace device permissions, and they look fine. All environment variables are defined and appear to be fine. The engine appears to be running fine. I re-installed ISQL, but no joy. I would like to avoid re-installing the engine which would require a restore of the development database. Compiling 4GL code, you receive the message: GLOBALS | | Not owner | See error number -1. | | The database "tracsy" cannot be found or opened. If the database | exists, check the database permissions on the database. In | addition, check the system permissions on the database directory | and its ascendant directories. | See error number -4305. Running ISQL you get: 1: Not owner 123: ISAM error: no shared memory -- Paul Begley Internet: peb@scdipc0.ueci.com Raytheon Engineers & Constructors Voice: 215-422-3997 Philadelphia, PA FAX: 215-422-3800
