2995.0. "Problems with setting up an Informix Database !" by COPCLU::FLADER_R (Rune Bo Flader @DMO) Wed Feb 05 1997 11:31

Hi !

DEC/EDI-configuration: DEC/EDI V3.1-A (Client and Server on the same machine), 
                       ObjectBroker V2.6, Informix V7.12-UC1 and DEC UNIX       
                       V3.2-G.

When I try to create the database (decedi_config (3)), the decedi_config-script
failed. I've have enclosed a script which shows that the prerequiste software is
installed and the error-message, which the decedi_config-script generates.

I hope somebody can help me !

Thanks in advance !

    Rune,
    
    Sincere appologies...there's a missing quote in the script.
    
    vi /usr/sbin/decedi_config
    and search for LOGFILES. You should see
    
        print "ALARMPROGRAM /usr/sbin/decedi_alarm # The DEC/EDI alarm script"
        else
            if(\$1 == "LOGSIZE")
                print "LOGSIZE 1024     # 1MB log files
            else
                print \$0
    
    Note that the print "LOGSIZE line has no trailing end quote, so just
    change it to
    		print "LOGSIZE 1024     # 1MB log files"
    
    Hopefully that should cure the problem.

Hi Grahame !

The missing quote in the decedi_config-script was the problem !

Thank you !
