How to test conection from Windows PC to Linux ?

Hi to all, I've just installed the Informix Developer Edition on a Linux CentOS 5.3. I've configured the server as requested and it is running fine. From within dbaccess I've created and populated several databases. Mi trouble is that I can't find the way to connect to the server from a Windows workstation. I've installed the IBM Informix Client SDK but when using the ILogin Demo I don't know how to fill the login parameters that are required. In the Linux server theese are: INFORMIXDIR=/opt/informix INFORMIXSQLHOSTS=/opt/informix/etc/sqlhosts.demo_on ONCONFIG=onconfig.demo_on INFORMIXSERVER=demo_on Can someone please tell me how to fill Servicename: ? Protocolname: ? How can I test the conection? Any help will be appreciated. Hernando.

Servicename is the name associated with the tcp port or the tcp port itself. You can get it from the INFORMIXSQLHOSTS file on the server side. Protocol is onsoctcp Hostname is the name of the server or it's IP address Server is the value of $INFORMIXSERVER on the server side The database should be a name of a "stores" database. You can give other database name, with different schema... the effect is that an empty box will appear (withou customer first and last name) but no error will be raised if the database exists and you have connect privilege Regards On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 11:24 PM, HERNANDO DUQUE <hduquec@hotmail.com>wrote: > Hi to all, > > I've just installed the Informix Developer Edition on a Linux CentOS 5.3. > I've > configured the server as requested and it is running fine.

Protocol is "onsoctcp". Service is the port number corresponding to the service name in the sqlhosts file. Art On Mar 23, 2011 7:24 PM, "HERNANDO DUQUE" <hduquec@hotmail.com> wrote: --bcaec50160c7000ca5049f312df7
