INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10

When you connect to an Informix instance with a mapped user that 
has a non-OS surrogate ID an explain file will be written to the 
directory $INFORMIXDIR/users/server_SERVERNUM/uid_UID 
USERNAME_sqexplain.out (if no location for it is specified). The 
SERVERNUM will be the servernum of the instance, the UID the uid 
of the mapped user and the USERNAME the name of the mapped user. 
 
From the documentation you would expect to find the debug file 
in the same directory with the user name of the mapped user 
pre-pended to it. As example if you would name the debug file 
"mydebug.out" then you would expect it to be written to 
$INFORMIXDIR/users/server_SERVERNUM/uid_UID/USERNAME_mydebug.out 
. However, currently it will be written to 
$INFORMIXDIR/users/server_SERVERNUM/uid_UID/mydebug.out. 
 
If several mapped users would run an SPL with active tracing 
then all would use the same file. If the debug file is having a 
relative pathname it would not be the filename we would expect. 
For a non-mapped user the relative path would turn out to be 
starting with the user's home directory. In this case the debug 
files for different users would be in different locations and 
hence different files. 
 
One could circumvent this to a degree by adding HOME 
'MAPPED_USER_HOME_DIRECTORY' to the user creation, but this 
would mean additional administrative overhead and the create 
user statement would then have to include the UID/USER and GROUP 
properties as well (just trying to specify HOME in the 
PROPERTIES of CREATE USER would result in a syntax error).

version 12.10.xC6 will have this fix for mapped users.
