Re: Configuring remote tcp connections.

Follow these steps. 1) Add/Set DBSERVERALIASES in $ONCONFIG file. (e.g. DBSERVERALIASES porto_tcp) 2) Then add entry for 'server_tcp' in $INFORMIXSQLHOSTS For e.g. => porto_tcp onsoctcp hostname sqlexec_tcp_port 3) update the /etc/services file and set sqlexec_tcp_port to a unused port number. 4) re-start the engine. You should be able to use this new porto_tcp as INFORMIXSERVER for a remote clients. Regards, Nilesh.

Hi group, I need to configure my Informix system to accept remote tcp connections. This Informix DB is running on an AIX server. Here is the output of /informix/etc/sqlhosts file: porto onipcshm portonova sqlexec lisboa onipcshm portonova lis_sqlexec euro onipcshm portonova euro_sqlexec As you can see my system only accepts shared memory. Now I want to connect from windows clients and I need to configure TCP connections. I was reading about it and someone told that I have to configure sqlhosts file. If I append the next line will it work? porto olsoctcp portonova sqlexecI search inside /etc/services and it already has sqlexec reference, by the way, it's using port 1525. Can I have "porto" dbservername parameter defined twice? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Nuno Paquete sending to informix-list
