Informix SetNet32 Error -908

[Nicke, Deb]

I keep getting the following error when trying to connect to my HP 755
w/HPUX 10.2 and Informix online 7.2

Database: sqlcode= -908

The error message book info is different in that I should get an error
Attempt to connect to database server(servername,
connerr=connection-error-number, oserr=system-error-number) failed

I have set the following:

on windows95 client
c:\windows\services
online 2001/tcp

c:\windows\hosts
100.100.100.1 myserver

on my HPUX 10.2 server
/etc/services

online1 2001/tcp

/usr/informix/etc/onconfig
DBSERVERALIASES isa_online

/usr/informix/etc/sqlhosts
ONLINE onipcshm myserver test
isa_online onipcshm myserver online1

/usr/informix/.profile
DBSERVERALIASES=isa_online; export DBSERVERALIASES

in SetNet32

Server Info
Informix Server isa_online
Host Name myserver
Protocol Name olsoctcp - I have tried changing this at the test login
prompt to
ontlitcp to match the sqlhosts
file on HPUX (same
error)

Service Name online1

I can bet to my server via telnet informixserver ONLINE and use sql forms
and reports thru HPUX generated menus without any problems. Geez Louise -
what am I missing.

Thanks
Deb Nicke

Your sqlhosts file only shows a shared memory connection type defined.
You need to set up a TCP connection type in order to connect from a
'95 client.

Thanks for the response. Despite a typo (my online1 was set correctly in
both locations, making Bo's onsoctcp change did get a connection with
setnet32. Now I have to get there through Powerbuilder, I'm getting a 25507
service name or protocol is unknown. I'll have to investigate this since my
only experience with Powerbuilder is loading the thing.

Thanks again,
Deb Nicke

Change the sqlhosts file for the isa_online entry to "onsoctcp"!
