Output Logs

Use the -new_startline " -z -zr all" argument to start iqsrv16 with extra logging:

iqunload -au -c "UID=DBA;PWD=SQL;DBF=/iq-15/
unload/127/db/iq127db.db" -new_startline "-z -zr all"
-o iq15db.out 

Use the START = -z -zr all argument to start the 12.7 engine with extra logging:

iqunload -v -au -c "UID=DBA;PWD=SQL;DBF=/iq-15/
unload/127/db/iq127db.db;START=-z -zr all
-o iq127db.out" 

A message similar to this indicates that iqunload started the database but could not connect to the server:

SQL error:Database server not found

kill –9 21172

Trying to run iqunload without killing an orphaned iqunlspt process, may generate this error:

SQL error: Unable to start specified database: autostarting database failed.

sp_login_environment replaces the 12.7 default login procedure DBA.sp_iq_process_login and dbo.sa_post_login_procedure replaces the 12.7 default post-login procedure DBA.sp_iq_process_post_login. iqunload generally replaces obsolete options with new defaults, but if the 12.7 option is set on a specific user instead of PUBLIC (the default), the log file may report errors:

'DBA.sp_iq_process_login' caused SQLSTATE '52W09' 
E. 10/31 16:53:40. Procedure 'sp_iq_process_login' not
