After Convert to Runtime...in "Assign tables to database" i cannot start Baan with any User except user "baan".

At startup i get error 1461 and 203. System is on NT4 with Informix, Baan4c4 SP9. I checked the files in directory $BSE/lib (tabledef...) and in $BSE/lib/user/ (u-files) and others but they seemed to be OK. All users are Super-Users.

Informix-Error 1461 means: file open error,cannot open file!
But which file is meant?

Even when i maintain new users, I get the same error. I dumped und converted users, dbuser and dbgroup.

Does anybody know what to do?

Thanks in advance
Greetings

Error 461 in Informix is usually due to wrong permissions. There are probably wrong permissions on $INFORMIXDIR which do not allow access to the directory for users other than baan. The permissions ideally should be 775 and owner: informix and group: informix.

If that's not it, tabledef6.1 could be incorrectly specified in the Informix parameters.

Hope this helps,

Hi Johnny -
what is in your BSE\lib\inf\inf_users file and BSE\lib\inf\inf_storage file?


It appears that either:
1. there is an underlying database ownership issue.
2. users other than baan are not setup in inf_users
3. database objects are owned by baan, but the group objects are not being queried by the db driver.

If you do a DBS_LOG=0400 i think you will see a SELECT baan.TABLENAME . the baan in front of the table name means that your group settings are turned on in inf_storage.

inf_storage should be something like:
T:*:group:blah blah blah

Check these files out, attach them to a post if you need to.

good luck.
