In Response To: Informix upgrade issues - 11.10 -> 11.50 with ER ( (Jarrod Teale)

Hey - thought I would post the CDR onconfig settings as well.

# CDR Variables
CDR_EVALTHREADS 2 # evaluator threads
(per-cpu-vp,additional)
CDR_DSLOCKWAIT 5 # DS lockwait timeout (seconds)
CDR_QUEUEMEM 15360 # Maximum amount of memory for any
CDR queue (Kbytes)
CDR_LOGDELTA 30 # % of log space allowed in queue
memory
CDR_NUMCONNECT 16 # Expected connections per server
CDR_NIFRETRY 300 # Connection retry (seconds)
CDR_NIFCOMPRESS 9 # Link level compression (-1 never,
0 none, 9 max)
CDR_SERIAL 100,-1 # Serial Column Sequence
CDR_DBSPACE er_dbspace # dbspace for syscdr database
CDR_QHDR_DBSPACE er_dbspace # CDR queue dbspace (default same
as catalog)
CDR_QDATA_SBSPACE er_sbspace # List of CDR queue smart blob
spaces
CDR_MAX_DYNAMIC_LOGS 10

Subject: Informix upgrade issues - 11.10 -> 11.50 with .... [16410]

Hey all - Tried to send this through before with a heap of attachments,
but the post failed (to big)

Trying to migrate from 11.10.UC2W2 to 11.50.UC3 The main upgrade goes
fine, but the CDR component don't work!
We run the concdr.sh 11.10 11.50 and then when we start CDR the system
grabs 1.3GB RAM and then the CDR threads crash.
This is all running on RedHat EL4 in our test environment (so VMWare),
so we can run the tests before destroying production!

Any ideas?
Transcript of test attached (Note the jump from 400Mb to 1.7Gb RAM after
cdr is started).
Looking at onstat -g ath there are no CDR threads running after cdr
start has been run - memory is consumed and then not freed, though is
avaialble as free blocks in onstat -g seg.

Help please - If nothing obvious, we will raise a PMR.

Thanks
