APAR status
Closed as documentation error.
Error description
"onstat -" shows (see Up 49345 days): IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 11.50.TC5 -- On-Line -- Up 49345 days 06:29:04 -- 78208 Kbytes after we change current system date "on-the-fly" back to the past (for example, one year back 2010 -> 2009) IDS must show something like "Up -365 days" or something else, but not such huge number of days! Or we should include into the IDS documentation some restrictions regarding changing system date on machines with IDS.
