  • 1.  shared memory not initialized for INFORMIXSERVER but Server is online!!

    Posted Wed July 31, 2024 02:54 PM

    Hi all, I inherited the management of a windows server 2019 with informix server 10.

    Informix server is active and correctly configured and working but from the instance.cmd prompt with any user (even informix) the onstat, oninit etc commands all respond "shared memory not initialized for INFORMIXSERVER 'ixserver' ". INFORMIXSERVER and INFORMIXDIR are correctly valued. What am I doing wrong?

    That sounds like the environment variables are not set, or not set correctly - INFORMIXSERVER, ONCONFIG, INFORMIXDIR

    Does "onstat -g dis" show your running instance?

    HI,

    Try onmode -R to recreate the infos file - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/informix-servers/14.10?topic=utility-onmode-r-regenerate-infosdbservername-file

    Otherwise open a support case.

    Regards,

    David.
