Trouble solving error -931

Hello. I've got INFORMIX-OnLine Version 7.22.UC1 running on a SunOS 5.6 workstation. It runs fine when configured for shared-memory connections but fails to initialize when set to accept TCP connections. 18:06:03 listener-thread: err = -931: Cannot locate online service/tcp service in /etc/services. Here's the config summary, hoping that I didn't miss anything. $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG DBSERVERALIASES dbserver_tcp $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts dbserver_tcp ontlitcp csjava online /etc/services online 1525/tcp /etc/hosts <ipaddr> csjava However, I have noticed something odd. Upon running "oninit", I expect the access time of /etc/services to be updated but it is not. NIS is not running either. My first guess is that Informix has disabled TCP connections for that installation in accordance with the licensing agreement. My next guess is that it is a bug, but I'm having a hard time accepting that. Thanks for any ideas. Edwin

Maybe you should use onsoctcp instead of ontlitcp on your sqlhosts file. Remember to verify the parameter NETTYPE on your onconfig file. If you really have to use sockets, you must fill an entry with soctcp on Protocol field.
