Hello! When I try to connect to Informix Server on Linux from 16bit application running on Win95 with 16bit Informix CLI and enter INCORRECT name or password, Informix "freezes". I can't make any connection to IDS and must kill oninit process and recovery server. The same situation occurs when I use login demo from 16bit CLI and demo database on Linux, so the problem is not in the application. 32bit applications run without problems. My configuration: client : Win95, 16bit CLI, 32bit CLI, 16bit application, tcpip server:RedHat5.2 with Informix patches, IDS 7.3, onsoctcp Here is listing of oninit processes on my server: before incorrect login 6490 ? S 0:02 oninit -s 6491 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6492 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6493 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6494 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6495 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6496 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6497 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6498 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6499 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6500 ? S 0:00 oninit -s after incorrect login 6490 ? R 14:20 oninit -s 6491 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6492 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6493 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6494 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6495 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6496 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6497 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6498 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6499 ? S 0:00 oninit -s 6500 ? S 0:00 oninit -s Thank you for your help.

I don't know in which version it should be fixed, but there is a recommended workaround that helped us: Run the pollthread in a NET-VP instead of CPU-VP. You can do this by the NETTYPE-Parameter in onconfig: NETTYPE your_protocol,your_no_of_pollthreads,your_no_of_users,NET or with onmonitor Parameters/Performance/NETTYPE settings (VP-CLASS = NET) hth martin

When I set NETTYPE parameter in onconfig, I can not initialize shared memory - server doesn't start. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own

You can download a patch for this bug (#103414) get the "Informix Dynamic Server, Linux Edition Suite CPU/NET VPs Patch.(Bug 103414)" download. Art S. Kagel
