Installation of IDS 9.21

[SaraRainho]

Hi all,

I have installed IDS software version 9.21 under a unix server. After tunning the parameters and made a reboot to the server, I try to initiallize the instance with "oninit -ivy", after a few succeeded steps I get a "oninit: Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags; asfcode = '-25580'".
I have already check all the parameters with other instance that we have on other server, and they seem to be fine.
How can I go througth this step?

Thanks in advance,
Sara Rainho

Not sure what IDS is, can you give more details?
version of sco, etc

Hi, Unix42

IDS means Informix Dynamic Server, and it's a database motor.
The SCO version is 5.0.5 , i386.

T.I.A.

Sara,
I found the following entry on

http://www.iiug.org/resources/faq/ifaq06.htm

:

oninit: Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA'
flags; asfcode='-25580'. [Editor's note on SCO Openserver 5.0.4]

Solution
----------

NOTICE: It seems that you must edit the mtune, stune and config.h manually to get SCO to use these values! I even had to add one of the parameters to the stune file?

stune file (partial) SEMMNI 2048 SEMMNS 2048 SEMMAP 2048 SEMMNU 100 SEMMSL 60 SHMMAX 671088640

mtune file (partial) SEMMAP 10 10 8192 SEMMNI 10 10 8192 SEMMNS 60 60 2048 SEMMNU 30 10 100 SEMMSL 25 25 60 XSEMMAX 60 20 90

NOTICE: You must change the maximum values in mtune or stune will NOT override!

config.h file (partial)
#define SEMMAP 2048
#define SEMMNI 2048
#define SEMMNS 2048
#define SEMMNU 100
#define SEMMSL 60
#define XSEMMAX 60
