Folks, I get following error while running oncheck comand. I knwo that it is UNIXsystem error. Probabaly running out of resources. Does anyone know what it could be. My Sys Admin says every thing is fine on the system side :( Thx, Niraj :/usr/informix > oncheck -cI <database name> 22:28:51 shmat: [12]: operating system errorUnable to attach to shared memory.

Oncheck allocates a shared memory segment for sorting memory. If your kernel's shared memory parameters are too small you can get that error. Art S.
