RE: Multiple Configurations in Online 5.05.UC1

Melvin, Your two tbconfig files probably have the same value for SERVERNUM. Informix uses this value to generate a key to identify shared memory. If both instances have the same value, then they both generate the same key. Not what you had intended. BTW, I don't think there's any reason you need 2 seperate installations of the software. You should be able to setup 2 instances of the engine using one copy of the software with 2 tbconfig files. You might have known this already but no harm in pointing it out again. --Craig (craig@chemistry.utah.edu) }I have two configurations on a single machine (HP 9000/E35, HP-UX 9.04). One }for development purposes and the other for the production environment. Both }of them has a separate installation of Informix-OnLine 5.05.UC1. } }Development/Maintenance : /usr/bas/mant/informix }Production : /usr/bas/prod/informix } }THE PROBLEM: When I run tbinit with INFORMIXDIR=/usr/bas/mant/informix I }cannot run tbinit with the other INFORMIXDIR, because it tells me "shared }memory already exists". } }I have done this before in an UNISYS 6000 and it runs fine! } }THE QUESTION: what can I do for keep working both installations? I already }tried setting the environment variable TBCONFIG. It didn't work neither! }
