UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hello, i am new to this forum and i really could use some help, we have a risc 43p model 150 ibm server and we run prophet 21 on it. after the box boots up and then we activate prophet 21 we get a error message saying
"The data space of the process is not enough for the shm segment (1176) │
│ There is no server for database /usr/lpp/p21pro/db/dyn. (1423)

we are not computer literate and our computer sytem is down. your help is greatly appreciated. thank you

Just an educated guess but it sounds like you need to increase the ulimits for the user.

to show current settings for the user run

Code:

ulimit -a

then as root run

Code:

chuser data=-1 the_database_username

and then verify as the_database_username

Code:

ulimit -a

if that shows unlimited then restart the service
