We thought that 2 is the normal. Any suggestions? This is due to Version 5.0 OnLine changes. In your TBCONFIG file, you should see a parameter CLEANERS which is probably set to 4. This gives you the 2 tbinit processes you were seeing in the previous version of OnLine and 4 more tbinit processes that are the CLEANER processes. If you run the a tbstat -F you will see 4 flushers and their states. These tbinit processes are used to flush dirty pages from the shared memory buffers back to disk. On my system I have 6 cleaners and the tbstat -F looks like the following: RSAM Version 5.00.UD3 -- On-Line -- Up 4 days 01:49:20 -- 3136 Kbytes Fg Writes LRU Writes Idle Writes Chunk Writes 0 0 0 0 address flusher snooze state data 301894 0 60 I 0 = 0 3018fc 1 60 I 0 = 0 301964 2 60 I 0 = 0 3019cc 3 60 I 0 = 0 301a34 4 60 I 0 = 0 301a9c 5 60 I 0 = 0 states: Exit Idle Chunk Lru If you have the 5.0 OnLine Administrator's Guide, you will find information about the OnLine daemon processes, including the page cleaners, in several places, but 2-29 is a good starting point. If you don't have a copy of this book, I suggest you beg, borrow or, as a last resort, buy one :-). It is the best book Informix has produced and gives detailed information about all aspects of the OnLine engine. > > Thanx, > Apostolos Dedes > GE Information Services > dedes@geis.geis.com > Regards, Cris Schramm Texas Instruments, Inc. #include <disclaimers> Internet cris@bs1.dsg.ti.com TI Telephone (512) 250-4424 Fax Phone (512) 250-6051
