Resident Memory
Hy,
We just installed ODS 7.23 (UC6) on our UNIX SVR4 1.4 machine. We
created a database and
filled in the onconfig-file (/usr/informix/etc/onconfig).
The we specified a parameter RESIDENT = 1.
Now, when we initialise the database, or when we bring it online
(oninit), we get the message:
WARNING: forced-resident shared memory not available
Finally the dbase is online and running, but why do I receive this
warning and how can I get
rid of it ? What are the consequences ?
Can anyone help us on this ?
tnx,

Hi Wim,
This is probably related to your port of Informix.
Resident is not supported on all platforms. If you take a look at your
release notes under $INFORMIXDIR you may well find information regarding
port specific issues such as this.
Hope this Helps

It may be that your system does not support forced residency.
Check your release notes, and if this is the case, set RESIDENT back to 0 and
bounce the engine.

No consequences other than having to look at that message whenever the
server comes up, and in six months when you finally bounce it again you
will not remember that it is harmless.
This is caused by having "RESIDENT 1" in you ONCONFIG file on a
platform that does not support shared memory residency, either because
the OS does not permit it (or it does not work correctly) or because
Informix chose, for whatever reason, not to implement it. Check your
release notes ($INFORMIXDIR/release/*/*/*) for details. Just change
the entry to "RESIDENT 0" and the message goes away.

This feature is not available on all platforms. If you want to remove
the message, then set RESIDENT to 0.
