More Information:

Most problems starting ODEXplus are caused by a failure to correctly stop the previous instance (eg if the machine was restarted without closing ODEX).

Check the following:

  • Are you logged on as the ODEX user (this user should own the ODEX binaries)?
  • Is the environment variable CCPATH set to the ODEX installation directory?

 

Run the script file "psodex" and ensure that no ODEX processes are remaining.

If there are, first run "diststop". If this fails to bring down ODEX within a reasonable amount of time, run the zapall script, then check psodex again. The zapall script will terminate any errant processes and clean up any temporary files.

Once there are no processes running for ODEX, run ipcs and check for any shared memory or semaphores for the ODEX user (ODEX should be running under its own dedicated logon), and remove these with the ipcrm command.

You should now be able to start ODEX.
