Error description
The command "onmode -H" may be used to clean up XA transactions that have been heuristically completed by the Informix server. However when the onconfig parameter IFX_XA_UNIQUEXID_IN_DATABASE is present with a non-zero value then the transaction cannot be cleaned up. The command will fail as in the following example: $ onmode -H 0x10ada23a8 Call to xa_foget() failed. Check Online log for details. With the online log showing: Heuristically completed transaction cannot be forgotten. Call to xa_forget() returned code: -4
Local fix
It is possible to work-around the problem by temporarily setting the IFX_XA_UNIQUEXID_IN_DATABASE onconfig parameter to 0 using the command "onmode -wm" then using "onmode -H" to clean up the transaction and then changing IFX_XA_UNIQUEXID_IN_DATABASE back again. However, care should be taken to ensure that no new transactions are created during this time to avoid potential problems with multiple transactions having the same identifier.
