Re: Initialisation Error [dbspace/shared memory]

Hi Jerry, You must first create your chunks before initializing your IDS instance. There are several steps that you need to do after installation in order to have Informix up and running. It's not very complicated, actually once you get use to it it's very simple. Compared to other databases out there. The Installation and Admin Guide are very good references to assist you in initializing Informix. Don Jerry Chimutanda wrote: > I am trying to get an instance of my database with the oninit command.
