SMI tables and concsm.cfg setting

About this task

If you want to build the SMI tables when you open the database server (oninit -i), do not specify the p=1 option in the database server CSM entry in the concsm.cfg file. The oninit process does not have a password for the informix or root user ID. If you specify the p=1 option in the concsm.cfg file for the database server, you receive the following error message:
-5013 CSM: cannot obtain credential: 
authentication error.

To specify that the password is mandatory for the database server CSM when the SMI tables are not yet built:

Procedure

  1. Do not specify the p=1 option in the concsm.cfg entry.
  2. Open the database server with the oninit -i command to build the SMI tables.
  3. Bring down the database server.
  4. Specify the p=1 option in the database server CSM entry in the concsm.cfg file.
  5. Start the database server again with the oninit command.
