AIX 3.2.5 ODS 7.13 UC2 RS/6000 single cpu @ morning we find that the engine is off-line. OnLine log simply has last check point at about 17:30, then, next message is the oninit we do @ morning to bring it back. Called Informix tech support. Suggested we set afdebug and collect statistics, and email log and onconfig. Has anyone encountered this? If so what was the problem? Has anyone got any problem solving approaches I can try. Thanks
