Informix - Problem description

Problem IT42577 Status: Closed

CONVERSION HANGS WITH CONVERT THREAD WAITING ON SQCONVSCPT CONDITION AND
CONV_SCRIPT THREAD NO LONGER PRESENT

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - 
Problem description:
During a migration of an Instance from 12 to 14 the following
hung situation can be seen:

The convert thread will be waiting on the sqconvscpt condition
as shown by onstat -g ath and onstat -g con output:

onstat -g con:

IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 14.10.FC8 -- Quiescent -- Up
05:07:06 -- 1830932 Kbytes

Conditions with waiters:
cid      addr             name               waiter   waittime
350      4c56a460         ReadAhead          52       107
417      44156c30         bp_cond            63       164
4034     4e258280         sqconvscpt         48       18356

onstat -g ath:

IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 14.10.FC8 -- Quiescent -- Up
05:04:57 -- 1830932 Kbytes

Threads:
 tid     tcb              rstcb            prty status
vp-class       name
 48       4c3dd6b8         46e87da8         3    cond wait
sqconvscpt   9cpu         convert


convert thread would have following stack:

 yield_processor_mvp
 mt_wait
 call_external_sql_script
 dummyupds
 sql_cleanup_entity
 do_each_version_work
 generic_fw_main
 convertSM
 th_init_initgls
 startup

The thread responsible for waking this thread from this
condition is named conv_script.
So if there is no longer a conv_script thread in the onstat -g
ath output that could indicate this problem has been
encountered.
