Hi I am currently in the process of porting processes from an HP to a linux box. I tried to set up Data Replication on the Linux box (RH 5.2) using Informix 7.3. I performed an archive of the linux box that was to be the primary server using an ontape -s I set this server to be the primary with onmode -d primary <my server name> On the linux box (identical set up (I think?)) I performed an ontape -p. However, after the load of the dataspaces, the message ,unable to connect to primary server , was displayed and the secondary remained in quiescent mode. I was unable to access the data at all. How to I set up data replication?? I have done everything in the book but am more than a little flumuxed :) Thanks in advance for any helpfull hints or any comforting words John H

Question: do the two machines trust each other? one easy way to check is try and connect via dbaccess to the remote machine.
