IT11615: INSTALLER CUSTOM INSTANCE CREATES HUGE SPACES SO IT TAKES TOO LONG TO BUILD SYSADMIN

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After installing Informix 12.10.FC5 with GUI and choosing custom
  install creating an instance for 1-100 users the sysadmin took a
  long time (19:15 to 20:48) to be built because of huge dbspaces
  being created. Nowadays the sysadmin and scheduler are essential
  to many features, so I believe this change in behavior is a
  regression in installation.
  
  The scheduler was not running because it was taking forever to
  build sysadmin.
  
  The problem is with creating a huge datadbs when executing
  $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysadmin/sch_init_ol_informix1210.sql that I
  think came from installation (normal initialization would not
  create other dbspaces).
