Change from Buffered log to no log locks databases

Informix ver 710.UC1 Solaris 2.4 Sparc 1000 We have a number of test databases which we use to test cobol apps which data resides/will reside in informix. 16 in fact. These were erroneously set up with buffered logging. Cobol requires no logging. This morning I ran: ontape -s -N ..a list of 16 database names.. Change from buffered to no logging should have been immediate. Instead they are all locked error 178 pending changes to logging status. I think 16 was too many. Has anyone had this problem and know what to do. thanks in advance -- -- Peter Tashkoff <tashkop@kiwi.co.nz> Project Consultant/DBA NZ Kiwifruit Marketing Board Usual Disclaimers Apply -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This posting is copyright and may be used only for the purposes of professional study or the professional exchange of information.
