We have experienced some intermittent problems connecting Power Builder
to Informix and hope someone out here has a solution.
The server: Sun 2.5.1 Informix 7.23UC2
Several of the PowerBuilder developers have reported the following
problem:
We can connect to most Informix databases without problem. When trying
to connect to certain other databases, however, we receive a -255 error
(Not in Transaction). This error makes no sense since we are only
attempting an initial connection at logon.(and all our databases use
logging)
Usually just the -255 error will be encountered. At other times we will
receive the -255 error, a 20 second or so pause and then a -932 error
with the error message "Error on network connection, gethostbyname
(WSATRY_AGAIN) system call failed.".
If anyone else has experienced similar problems, please let us know how
you resolved them.
Thank you,
