Informix

Create an InformixHQ sensor to obtain the slowest queries directly from InformixHQ repository instead local SQLTRACE on the instance..

Complementing idea INFX-I-557, it would be great if we may have the report of the heaviest/slowest queries from the InformixHQ repository, instead the local SQLTRACE tables.

Create an Informix-HQ sensor that populates an historical data table with the slowest/heaviest queries on an instance.

SQLTRACE has proved been a valuable resource to identify slow/heavy queries. An even sysadmin may store a history of the SQLTRACE output, it would be great to have a filter for the heaviest/slowest queries, and store them as a sensor of Informix-HQ.

Improve L1 backup usability

We would like to use incremental backups with 'onbar'. However this is difficult because we use storagepools and chunks can be added at any time. Once a chunk has been added this forces a L0 backup of at least the dbspace concerned and the root db...

Make ifxcollect dump location configurable

The directory used by ifxcollect is hardcoded to $INFORMIXDIR/isa/data.This breaks as soon as IDS has been upgraded to a new version/special build and needs manual intervention which can be forgotten easily. What would probably work much better if...

Secure the Wire Listener: Stop requiring clear text passwords

Add ability to disable temp table auditing

Informix row level auditing masks (INRW, DLRW and UPRW) can be used to audit DML operations on application tables. During batch jobs (that use temporary tables extensively) it was noted that Informix is auditing temporary tables unnecessary causin...

ACCESSING A REMOTE TABLE REFERENCED BY A SYNONYM GIVES ERROR 926 WITHIN XA ENVIRONMENT

When we are in an XA environment, and we execute a query against a synonym for a remote server, we get an error -926. This error does not occur when using local tables. The error also does not occur if using a non-XA connection against the synonym...
