Actually, the onbar debug file doesn't track the shared (XBSA) library stuff much. I think it would be preferable to turn on TSM tracing in the client's dsm.opt file with the following stanzas. The tracing wraps so the XBSA library which causes the session to bomb would very likely be caught since this activity will be what terminates the session. The stuff is also difficult to read and you would do well to bring Tivoli support and Informix support into the problem to interpret the trace. Since your version of Tivoli doesn't come with an XBSA library, you must have gotten it elsewhere. Check the sm_versions file; if you are using the Informix supplied shared library (ISM) it should be in the bar_versions table of the sysutils database as well as the sm_versions file. I don't know where you are keeping the library files but they should also be linked into /usr/lib.

In my case there was a problem with the sm_versions table. Anyway, here's a URL that might help you with the onbar-XBSA errors: http://www.geocities.com/maury.geo/onbar.html Also, you may want to turn on bar_debug (in your onconfig file) until this problem is resolved, as that is what actually helped me resolve my XBSA problems last time.
