Re: HDR on Informix

Hi, there's a little more to it, mainly you have to make the servers known to each other via the sqlhosts file(s). Also, afaik you have to enable connection between the two machines involved for user informix to be able to connect (e.g. rlogin) without password (e.g. .rhosts), aka as "trusted hosts". Why don't you read the manual ?: "IBM Informix Dynamic Server Administrator's Guide", Chapters "High-Availability Data Replication" and "Using High-Availability Data Replication". It contains step-by-step explanations as well ...
