Can't connect Informix Command Center to Database server on Unix

Hi All, I tried to connect Informix Command Center to a database server on a Unix host and ran into the following problem: I can connect to the database server from Database Explorer and query the database using Sql Editor. However, whenever I tried to connect to the same database server from Command Center, it would show me an error message: Unable to connect to server <servername>. Has anybody run into the same problem before? Does anyone have a solution? Please help. I run Command Center on a NT workstation. I set up the database server using SetNet32 and then created a System DSN entry for the server using Intersolv 3.10 Informix9 ODBC driver. I've added proper entries (port#/protocol) to services, hosts and sqlhosts files on both the NT client and Unix server. When set up the database server in Command Center (tools--setup--server administration), I was asked to enter both Server Administration Service and Database Administration Service. The service name for Database Administration Service I entered is the same as the one I entered for Service Name in both Setnet32 and ODBC. However, the service name I entered for Server Administration Service was not asked for by anyone else. Although I entered it in Services file on both client and server machine, I suspect this might be the cause of the problem. Does anyone know the exact meaning and function of this service and the correct way of setting it up? Thanks a lot. WL

Sounds like you are using an old version of IECC and/or IDS. You can only use IECC 3.0 to access and IDS server on Unix, and the IDS version must be 7.30+ and have the admin agent running (startsa). With earlier versions of either of these products, IECC cannot be used to admin the server running on Unix. Dave Kosenko Summit Data Group
