Error 908
Posted in 1996
A developer in my group got this message when running "dbaccess" or "isql"
followed by the name of our database. I also could not get into the data
base. I could not access database via network connection (using "ILOGIN.EXE"
in Windows). Eventually the users' rep called. The database was inaccessible.
At the suggestion of Informix support, I bumped up the number of users in the
NETTYPE parameter setting in my onconfig file . I brought engine down and
then up.
All appears ok at this time. Any suggestions, thoughts or admonitions will
be dutifully talken in. Please e-mail as I am starting what should be
a great vacation on Friday afternoon!
Thanks.
