port number
Jing Liu asked where to find the Informix server port number for a JDBC connection. Art S. Kagel said to look up the server name in the sqlhosts file in $INFORMIXDIR/etc and take its service name, then find the port in /etc/services. He first said third column, then corrected it: the service name is the fourth column.

hi, where can I find the port number of the Informix dbserver? I tried etc directory but didn't find it. That's required by JDBC connection. Thanks. Jing

Start on the server in $INFORMIXDIR/etc in the file sqlhosts. Look for the servername entry you are using on the client. The third column is the servicename which you can then look up in /etc/services to get the actual port number. Art S. Kagel

OOps thought I caught that one before it got away. The service is the fourth column not the third. Art S. Kagel "Art S.
