Shared memory connections

I am attempting to define two dbserver aliases (one for the DB-Cockpit, one for our Non-client/Server users who are using character-based Fourgen). One HAS to be Shared memory (DB-Cockpit, per the manual), the other I would LIKE to be shared memory (for performance). In the "Administrator's Guide, Vol 1 (ver 7.1)" p 4-34, it states "put an entry in the sqlhosts file for each database server /connection type pair". From this, I interpret that the combination of dbservername and nettype has to be unique. I think I've done this (see below), and can connect to the first alias, but I am unable to connect to the second alias (the fourgen alias). I receive "25588: The appl process cannot connect to OnLine server dfsun001fourgen. Interrupted system call" It appears I can have only one nettype (connection type) defined PER HOST, not per dbservername (that is, I can only have one sqlhosts entry of 'onipcshm' for a given host). Is this a true statement, and did I originally misunderstand the manual, or is there actually a problem here? I had wanted descriptive INFORMIXSERVER names, rather than some generic 'xxxxshmem' INFORMIXSERVER name. Any clarification greatly appreciated. ----- {/etc/services:} {Ther are no dupes in either name or port#} cockpit 1535/tcp # Informix DB/Cockpit monitor fourgen 1545/tcp # Fourgen Telnet Shared Memory {$INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts} dfsun001cockpit onipcshm dfsun00 cockpit dfsun001fourgen onipcshm dfsun00 fourgen ^^^^^^^^ {$INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG:} DBSERVERALIASES dfsun001cockpit,dfsun001fourgen -- "And has thou slain the jabberwock? . . ." +--------------------------------------------+--------------------+ | Schuyler L.
