Hi everyone.

I have a big problem since yesterday with some dbspaces in my Informix-Online DB (version 7.24.FC6).
I have 4 enviroments in DB. In 2 of them, all dbspaces but rootdbs have strangely disappear, although I can see them in the correct path /dbspaces/... of the host.
I tried to add them again with onmonitor (Add Blobspace), but this is the result when I enter the onstat -d comand:
Dbspaces flags: NB
Chunks flags: POB

Whats the meaning of the letter "B"?
I still cannot see all the databases with the dbacces comand. How can I solve this??
Could anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.
PD: Sorry by my English, I´m from Madrid (Spain).

Hi,
B means Blobspace. What system do you use, Unix ?

Hi!

I´m using Tru64 4.0G of the Compaq Alphaserver DS10 system.

I hope you can help us now.


Thanks.

Hi,
could you please give all the information about output with command onstat -d.

Hi.

I have added you a file where you can see which is the dbspaces problem.

You can see the highlighted lines of dbspaces that don´t appear on onstat -d command.

How is this possible? What´s happened? Is there any solution?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
what does 101 after rwxrwxrwx means, i guess it is the user(creator) of this file. Is 101 = informix? If not do change the user to informix, chown informix ... After you created with onmonitor the dbspace, did onmonitor say "succesfully build"?

Hi Juergen.

I notice that the "101" is normal in all dbspaces, I think it isn´t an error.
When I created the dbspaces onmonitor say me "succesfully build", but they aren´t accesible with dbaccess, ???.

I´ll keep in contact.
Thanks.

Yolanda.

>> If there is a problem of seeing the databases through dbaccess then, you need to run a script which is located in <informixdir>/etc/buildsmi .
After executing check for the messages in /tmp/buildsmi.out file, then run the dbaccess if still the problem exists then rerun the oninit -iy.
I think this solves your problem.

Thanks ShilpaN

HOLA YOLANDA
Yo también prefiero el Español.
Pudiste solucionarlo o seguis con problemas ??.
Por lo que estuve observando me parece que alguna persona levanto el Informix con "oninit -i", el cual te lo inicializa nuevamente y por esto es probable que no veas el resto de la estructura.
