Re: port number

Jing Look at /etc/services for the service name you declared for your INFORMIXSERVER in $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts. The /etc/services file will show the port number in the form servicename nnnn/tcp, where nnnn is the port number.

I tried etc directory but didn't find it. That's required by JDBC connection. Thanks. Jing

Thanks for all the replies to my question. I've found the port number. In fact, I am using Informix on NT. I can't find the file named sqlhosts. I can only find DBServer in $INFORMIXDIR/etc/onconfig. But the file winnt/system32/drivers/etc/services needs service name but not dbserver name. I've found the port number already since I learned the service name from somewhere else, but I still hope to know where to find the service name on NT.
