Re: CLI with WIN95 and Online 5.X
Thanks Walt, I replied to each of your questions below. Does anyone else have any ideas? Does anyone else have a WIN95 PC using Online 5.x (with I-Star) and Online 7.x running on two different serves? If so and you have I-Connect, have you had problems connect to your Online 5.x server? TIA, Cheryl L.

Yes Informix-Star product is up and running on the Online 5.x node and my ps -ef | grep sqlexecd is returning information. >> The default service name used in OnLine 5.x was sqlexec. >> The default service name used in OnLine 7.x was turbo. Not using the default service name( we have our own naming convention) and it has been set up okay and worked fine when I had a WIN3.X PC using 16 bit version of I-Connect for this PC. >> Perhaps you need two entries in your $SYSTEMDIR\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\services file of your client >> machine? One for turbo (to connect to OnLine 7.x), and one for sqlexec (to connect to OnLine 5.x)? >> Alternatively or you might wish to make sure that both your OnLine 7.x and OnLine 5.x are >> configured to use the same service name (sqlexec for example). They have been configured to use the "SAME SERVICE NAME", since we have our convention and my services file is set up and I can connect to Online 7.x okay, I just can't get to the Online 5.x (yeah checked my host file and I can ping both servers). >> Regards, >> Walter S.
