Problem IT42672 Status: Closed

REPLICATING SMARTBLOBS GREATER THAN 2GB ISSUE.

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - 
Problem description:
When replicating smartblobs with a size greater than 2GB, you
can see it going through ER queues but then it just ends up with
a 0 byte in the sbspace.

In the following oncheck output, there's a ~1.5 MB FILETOBLOB
which shows correctly, the second one corresponds to a ~3.5 GB
FILETOBLOB on the replicated server
