1 :: Somehow Informix fails to go online. Is there a way to view what oninit is doing?
Yes, you can start Informix in verbose mode:oninit -v (this works on NT as well)
Informix will print everything that happens.
To close the verbose mode: start a second terminal session (UNIX) or command prompt (NT) and execute:
onmode -ky
N.B. Don't close your terminal session (UNIX) or command prompt (NT) while in verbose mode. This will take Informix offline immediately.
2 :: I think I screwed up my onconfig file, and I do not have a backup of it. What should I do?
If Informix is still online, you can get a new onconfig with:onstat -c >onconfig
If Informix is offline, you can retrieve the settings from the database with:
oncheck -pR
or
oncheck -pP 1 1
3 :: Can I install Informix on a non-English version of Windows NT?
Yes, but you need to install version 7.30 TC 6 or higher.4 :: What is the informix-list@iiug.org mailing list?
The informix-list@iiug.org mailing list is a bi-directional gateway tothe comp.databases.informix (c.d.i) UseNet news group. Messages posted
to the news group are forwarded by mail to subscribers of the mailing
list; responses sent to the informix-list@iiug.org email address are
also posted to the news group; and the gateway manages to keep track of
things so that postings do not repeat themselves. The mailing list is
'closed' in that you cannot post directly to the list unless you also
subscribe to the list. However, you can always post to the news group
instead; that is fully open and unmoderated.
5 :: What Rules Exist Regarding Format, Content, Flame Wars, etc
None; this is a news group! That is, there are no rules enforced by thesoftware. There are periodically discussions on c.d.i about what should
and should not be said. This is my FAQ, so it gets my spin on the rules
that should be followed.
* Format: HTML postings are strongly discouraged; so are MIME
postings. Both cause problems with many frequently used news
readers. That means that attachments aren't encouraged either.
Also, sending the same information twice, once in HTML and once in
plain text, is downright wasteful.
