- This is due to Version 5.0 OnLine changes. In your TBCONFIG file, you should
- see a parameter CLEANERS which is probably set to 4. This gives you the 2
- tbinit processes you were seeing in the previous version of OnLine and 4 more
- tbinit processes that are the CLEANER processes.
-
- If you run the a tbstat -F you will see 4 flushers and their states. These
- tbinit processes are used to flush dirty pages from the shared memory
- buffers back to disk. On my system I have 6 cleaners and the tbstat -F
- looks like the following:
-
- RSAM Version 5.00.UD3 -- On-Line -- Up 4 days 01:49:20 -- 3136 Kbytes

- 3019cc 3 60 I 0 = 0
- 301a34 4 60 I 0 = 0
- 301a9c 5 60 I 0 = 0
- states: Exit Idle Chunk Lru

- If you have the 5.0 OnLine Administrator's Guide, you will find information
- about the OnLine daemon processes, including the page cleaners, in several
- places, but 2-29 is a good starting point.
-
- If you don't have a copy of this book, I suggest you beg, borrow or, as a
- last resort, buy one :-). It is the best book Informix has produced and
- gives detailed information about all aspects of the OnLine engine.
