Summary

pedrin got oninit ASF error 25507 on Informix 7.31 on Solaris when using socket mode (shared memory worked). Paul Watson said Solaris needs ontlitcp rather than onsoctcp, and that Windows clients still connect over TCP, with sockets on the client end and TLI on the server. pedrin said ontlitcp worked and would try the advice.

Hi, I'm trying to run Informix Server 7.31 on a Solaris (5.7) machine but i found a little problem... When I run it in "shared memory" mode I have no problem but when I try to run it using NIX socket I catch this message: "oninit: Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags: asfcode='25507'" I have been searching this error code but I only find that this message is related to SERVERNAMEALIAS... I also have read some documents about intalling process and I think I'm following the right steps... Or not? Thanks!! -- Posted via http://dbforums.com

Under Solaris you need to use ontlitcp not onsoctcp pedrin wrote: > > Hi, I'm trying to run Informix Server 7.31 on a Solaris (5.7) machine > but i found a little problem... > When I run it in "shared memory" mode I have no problem but when I try > to run it using NIX socket I catch this message: > > "oninit: Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags: > asfcode='25507'" > > I have been searching this error code but I only find that this message > is related to SERVERNAMEALIAS... > I also have read some documents about intalling process and I think I'm > following the right steps...

Ok with ontlitcp, but if I want to make a connection from a client installed on a Windows machine to the server installed on the Solaris machine, is still valid this nettype? -- Posted via http://dbforums.com

You connect via tcp, the NT end uses sockets and the Solaris end uses tli - it's all do with the ISO OSI model, tli/soc are Application Layer (??) but the underlying network layer is tcp in both cases. pedrin wrote: > > Ok with ontlitcp, but if I want to make a connection from a client > installed on a Windows machine to the server installed on the Solaris > machine, is still valid this nettype? > > -- > Posted via http://dbforums.com -- Paul Watson # Oninit Ltd # Growing old is mandatory Tel: +44 1436 672201 # Growing up is optional Fax: +44 1436 678693 # Mob: +44 7818 003457 # www.oninit.com #
