Error description
If an instance is brought up with file $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysadmin/stop in place so that scheduler threads do not start immediately you cannot start the threads later. It would seem that if the stop file is removed while the engine continues to be online, the removal of the stop file should permit the subequent starting of the scheduler threads. Running $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysadmin/start.sql by way of dbaccess seems to cause the threads to start. However, it does not start threads. Once you exit dbaccess, the dbscheduler threads do not exist. Either the script should test to make sure the threads have started, or a message should indicate that the threads cannot be started.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users using a '$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysadmin/stop' file to * * avoid the scheduler threads from getting created. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * If the engine is brought online with a * * '$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysadmin/stop' file, the scheduler threads * * do not get created. If the 'stop' file is removed, and * * $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysadmin/start.sql is run, the scheduler * * threads still do not get recreated, until the engine is * * restarted. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrade to IDS 11.50.xC9. * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Fixed in IDS 11.50.xC9. If the engine is brought online with a '$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysadmin/stop' file, the scheduler threads do not get created. If the 'stop' file is removed, and $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysadmin/start.sql is run, the scheduler threads will start immediately.
