Informix error -136: “no more extents”

Informix Database Replication

The following are observations and recommendations from one of our clients experiencing issues with Informix Database Replication. 1.) The session thread was doing quite a bit of sleeping. This normally  occurs when control is handed off to another thread. The session information did not show any other sub-threads for this session. It appears that the thread was waiting for the...
