unspecified error 11355
Poster couldn't set up an Informix ODBC DSN on Windows 2003: testing the connection returned "Unspecified System Error = -11357 / -11355", codes that FindError and web searches didn't explain. Two suggestions were offered: use the bundled dbping utility to test connectivity and get a more meaningful error, and note that the reported ODBC driver version (3.33, circa 1998) is very old and buggy, so installing a current CSDK/iConnect driver from IBM was advised. The poster never replied, so no confirmed resolution is recorded.

In attempting to set up an Informix DSN on a Windows 2003 server, I receive the following message after going through the "Connection" tab and hitting "Apply and Test Connection": Unspecified System Error = -11357 Unspecified System Error = -11355 I turned to FindError, but that yielded nothing. A quick search also came up short on both numbers. A few notes about this: The host is not localhost, it is another machine. ODBCAD32 shows Informix ODBC Driver Setup Utility 3.33.0000 3.60.TC1X2. Any guidance on simply identifying the error would be helpful. Ideas on how to correct it will win bonus kudos. Thanks, Ross
Check out dbping - it should part of the install - that will point you in the right direction Cheers Paul rosshinkley@gmail.com wrote: > In attempting to set up an Informix DSN on a Windows 2003 server, I > receive the following message after going through the "Connection" tab > and hitting "Apply and Test Connection": > > Unspecified System Error = -11357 > Unspecified System Error = -11355 > > I turned to FindError, but that yielded nothing.

Download the current iConnect or CSDK from IBM.bui the current version is 3.00.TC3 IB (if memory serves 3.30 was built during a period before the IBM acquisition when Informix was having so much trouble with it's own ODBC drivers that alternate releases were either in-house or 3rd party developed and none of them worked reliably).
