Quite a few! The interface from TP Monitor to DB is rather a pain to get working the first time - INFORMIX makes this worse by not logging anything useful! Possibilities are: 1. Security - is your Tuxedo admin user allowed to use INFORMIX? (i.e. can the user use isql or dbaccess successfully) 2. Logging - have you used unbuffered logging? (see the XA/TP guide for details - set it through tbmonitor) 3. TP Config - is your OPENINFO string correct? 4. GTRID size - make sure that your GTRID_CMP_SIZE paramter in your config is correct (12 for Tuxedo I *think*) otherwise you will "lose" transactions. > (2) Is there a log of Informix XA events? How do we find out what XAER_RMERR > actually occured? Yes, the online log - see your $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$TBCONFIG file to find out where it is - but events such as this don't seem to be logged to it.
