RE: 7.20 4ge programs won't run on 7.32

Carson You now have a classic client/server setup. No reason to suspect any data integrity problems (unless your network starts throwing wobblies). Working like this 'out of the box' has been available in IDS since v7, and at v5 with a minor addon. You can get maximum benefit fro your hardware by tuning each box to its role. Linux as a db server with lots of memory for the engine, and the SCO box as an app server. Slight admin overhead but better performance.

I got this working simply by setting the following: on the SCO box INFORMIXSERVER=linuxserver DBPATH=/path-on-linux-box-to-database:/path-on-SCO-to-4ge-programs I then added an entry in the sqlhosts file on SCO linuxserver setlitcp linuxserver sqlexec Added an entry for the SCO box to /etc/hosts.equiv on the Linux box. And of cource installed the Linux port of Informix SE on the Linux box. Is there anything wrong with accessing the database remotely this way, it works, but I just want to make sure I won't have any data integrity problems with this setup. I'm surprised it didn't require any additional software for the remote connection. _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list ********************************************************************************** This message is sent in strict confidence for the addressee only.
