Re: informix newbie needs help - out of shared memory segments, check system SHMSEG

You may want to check your settings in the ONCONFIG file. Try lowering the initial amount of shared memory, lower the number of buffers and try again. As far as the sqlhosts file here is an example of what we use: g_billsvr1 group - - i=1 elmo onsoctcp elmo sql1526 g=g_billsvr1 elmo_shm onipcshm elmo srv_agent g=g_billsvr1 g_pinsvr1 group - - i=2 rowlf onsoctcp rowlf sql1526 g=g_pinsvr1 Could you possibly post what you have in both files so we can take a look at it?
