RE: datase connectivity problem

Christina, My advice to you would be to review the IDS_7.2 document in $INFORMIXDIR/release/en_us/0333 First page you will find kernel parameters, you will also find kernel parameter suggestions on the last page. Review these with your Unix admin, they will be able to provide you with a kernel listing. Unless you wear 2 hats, in which case you can provide this yourself ;-) 109 connections - 1 userid? If so I would check the value of nproc this value specifies the number of processes a user may have active. While your at it check maxfiles and nfiles. By default these are usually fine but ya just never know who's been monkey'n around. It is my understanding that NETTYPE is primarily an optimization parameter for connections. But I may be wrong. I would appreciate comments on this.
