  • 1.  Informix HQ Unable to load locale categories.

    Posted Sat August 08, 2020 04:52 PM
    I have running IDS 14.1. I would like to run Informix HQ. I followed the instructions
    https://docs.deistercloud.com/content/Databases.30/IBM%20Informix.2/InformixHQ.xml?embedded=true
    I have started the server, but I'm not able to start InformixHQ agent due to error:

    I can do this for common Java applications, where should I set it for Informix HQ (jetty)?

    Hi Antonin.

    This affected us on an earlier version with:

    export LANG=en_GB.utf8

    A work-around was:

    export LANG=en_US.utf8

    The problem was subsequently fixed by IBM. You can update HQ only by installing the latest IDS in a different location and replacing the contents of:

    $INFORMIXDIR/hq

    Regards,
    Doug

    Hi Doug,

    thank you for your advice. I guess, this encoding settings is just for Informix HQ, isn't it?
    The setting of DB_LOCALE of individual databases on monitored servers the agents does not need to know? Or it'll find out for itself?

    My LOCALE settings
    AIX - 7.1 - LANG=cs_CZ 
    IFX - DB_LOCALE=cs_cz.8859-2@sis

    I'm not able to install last build of IDS 14.x, due dependency on AIX 7.2., so I don't even have the last build of IHQ.

    Yes - set LANG differently just for HQ. You should have DB_LOCALE and CLIENT_LOCALE set to your usual values when starting HQ.
