We have installed 4GL RDS, SQL development Runtime, IDS 9.40 for AIX 5.3.
We get this error message when we try to bring instance online.

Has anyone of you experienced this before?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Hi,

If you start up the instance with less Initial Shared memory(SHMVIRTSIZE), then engine would add it dynamically as and when it requires. If the segments added by engine are more than 3, you might find yourself in problems, so better increase the value of SHMVIRTSIZE.

Hi,

Please read the release notes for your machine and change SHMBASE.
Next run oninit.
