Fatal error asfcode = '25507'

Posted in 2003

Summary

Jimmy Derneby could not start a fresh IDS 9.30.UC2E3 on Red Hat 7.3 and got an ASF initialization error, asfcode 25507. Mark Stock and Martin Fuerderer pointed to the sqlhosts file, NETTYPE and communications setup. Jimmy solved it: he had used tlitcp instead of soctcp in both sqlhosts and onconfig.

Don't know what 25507 is off the top of my head, but ASF errors usually mean you have a problem with your sqlhosts file contents.

Hi everybody! thanks for your help, i used wrong NETTYPE value (tlitcp instead of soctcp ) in both sqlhosts and onconfig. I have to read the machine notes more carefully next time i set up a new server. //Jimmy 302121408.JAA24561@ace.iiug.org> Hi!

Hi, I guess this is a configuration problem. Usually such an error means there's something wrong with your communications setup (of the IDS Server). Check the following things : - $ONCONFIG file parameters : DBSERVERNAME DBSERVERALIASES NETTYPE - sqlhosts file entries - $INFORMIXSQLHOSTS env variable set ? - $INFORMIXSERVER environment variable (should be one of onconfig's DBSERVERNAME or DBSERVERALIASES) - $INFORMIXDIR/release/en_us/0333/IDS_9.3 for supported communication protocols. On Linux, supported are "onipcshm" and "onsoctcp", if I'm correct ... If all these things don't mean a lot to you, then you should get the manuals (especially "Getting Started ..."), because it doesn't run off the mill. You always have to setup the $ONCONFIG file and a couple of environment variables according to your environment/disks, etc. TIA, Martin -- Martin Fuerderer IBM Informix Development Munich Data Management Solutions "JIMMY DERNEBY" <jderneby@slb.com> Sent by: forum.subscriber@iiug.org 12.02.2003 15:08 To: ids@iiug.org cc: Subject: Fatal error asfcode = '25507' [340] Hi!
