Unknown error 32766 occurs?
Mike Pechner
I have tbeen getting the error "32766" unknown error
Displaying under 2 conditions:
1. I do a tbinit and a tbmode from my rc.local
I get the error once for each command.
2 I do the following:
rsh dbmaster "echo create db xxx wth log" | isql
( skip the syntax, you get the jist)
When I am rlog'd into the dbmaster machine this cmmand
works fine.
Architecture: Sparc 2 sun 4.1.1 Informix 4.00 (not 4.1)
Very open system: no hosts.equiv and no .rhosts used.
I do 1 as root (obviously)
I do 2 as myself (user: xxx ).
Any clues?

It normally means that Informix hasn't any idea where it should
be looking - e.g. INFORMIXDIR isn't set. Same kind of problem
as crontab entries.

Stick a shell-script wrapper round them, maybe ? Or set the
values in rc.local before you call the commands.

rsh doesn't set up all the environment: bay is our local server, for ex.
MacStuff 28 > rsh bay env | wc -l
5
MacStuff 29 > env | wc -l
37

Shouldn't that say something about "No ibm's" ? :-)

Hope that helps.
Cheers - Tony.

This error is almost always the result of not setting your
INFORMIXDIR environment variable.

You could "solve" this if you use a C shell on the remote host (bay),
because rsh will then execute the .cshrc as it logs in. Thus you place
the setenv INFORMIXDIR /usr/informix (or similar) in your .cshrc (as
well as the more correct .login). Remember not to put anything that
reads, writes, or modifies a tty in the .cshrc without checking it
really a tty first, though!
Because this is somewhat Unix-centric rather than database oriented
email me (rather than post?) if you want a clarification of this.

INFORMIXDIR is not set and INFORMIXDIR is not /usr/informix?
If your system supports symbolic links, set /usr/informix as a symbolic
link to the real installation. Otherwise, ensure that INFORMIXDIR
gets set before running the command. Have fun.
