PI89704: THE RATIONAL SYNERGY 7.2.1 DOCUMENTATION FOR UNIX KERNEL SETTINGS FOR INFORMIX 11.5 IS STILL OUTDATED/INCOMPLETE

Rational Synergy Interim Fix 1 for 7.2.1.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Synergy documentation refers to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0
  when discussing setting up UNIX systems for Informix.  RHEL 4.0
  was never supported by Synergy 7.2.1.  The Synergy 7.2.1
  documentation point to a page listing the shared memory
  parameters the "You must use" for RHEL 4.0 and later versions.
  RHEL 5 and 6 have different values that should be used, per the
  Informix machine notes.
  
  The Synergy 7.2.1 documentation needs to be corrected to list
  the suggested shared memory parameters for the RHEL releases
  that it actually supports, using the information listed under
  Machine Notes in the Informix 11.5 Knowledge Center at
  https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_11.50.0/com.i
  bm.relnotes.doc/machnotes_ifx1150xc9.html.
  

Local fix

• Refer to settings listed under Machine Notes for Informix
  Servers 11.5 at
  http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_11.50.0/com.ib
