Informix - Problem description

Problem IT35872 Status: Closed

TRYING TO ADD A NEW LOGICAL LOG VIA ONPARAMS WILL HANG IF LOGICAL LOGS ARE
FULL

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - 
Problem description:
if the logical logs are not backed up and a thread tries to
write to the next logical log,
any attempt to resolve this via onparams will fail.  If such an
attempt is made, for example by:

onparams -a -d logspace -i

... this will display:

Log operation started. To monitor progress, use the onstat -l
command.

... but then it will hang.

This is the online.log
12:52:32  Logical Log 88 Complete, timestamp: 0x78b4cf.
12:52:33  Logical Log Files are Full -- Backup is Needed  .....

From the onstat -g cpu output, the sqlexec thread is in
logchange and onparams is waiting on that condition:

 135    sqlexec           1cpu    01/13 13:54:23        2.6295
39871    sleeping secs: 1
 136    onparam           1cpu    01/13 12:52:52        0.0002
8    cond wait  log

The onparam thread has this stack:

0x00000000014281c4 (oninit) yield_processor_mvp
0x000000000143f476 (oninit) mt_fast_wait
