Yuriy,

Based on information at
you need to make sure you have the correct options selected. I haven't
used 7.31.TD1X3 but I would suggest that you look at the release notes
and make sure that it is compatible of going above 2G on windows. You
may also want to look at
to see if the
latest version supports going over the 2G limit on Win NT. Looking at
the module you failed in "nt_shm.c" would point to a failure in memory
allocation of the Windows kind.

Definitely check your configuration using the above MS document.

Hi, everybody.
We are running Informix 7.31.TD1X3 and SAP R/3 on it.
We have upgraded to Win 2k Advanced Server in order to bypass
the memory limit of 2GB.
We have made the changes to the boot.ini according to the release
notes to enable up to 3GB of memory.
This works fine, but when SHMVIRTSIZE = 1000000,
we receive the following error when running ontape or oncheck utility:

MapViewOfFileEx: w32ec=487 at \tristarm\oslib\nt_shm.c:683
00:43:36 shmat: [22]: operating system error

Anybody know, what can I do? May be hotfixes, patches?

With best regards, Yuriy Borinsky
SAP R/3 and Informix administrator
