-908 Attempt to connect to database server (servername) failed.

The program or application is trying to access another database server but has failed. Note the server name in the current statement.

The desired database server is unavailable, or the network is down or is congested. Ask your DBA and system administrator to verify that the server and network are operational. If the network is congested, use the environment variables INFORMIXCONTIME and INFORMIXCONRETRY to tune connection timing. For information on setting these environment variables, see the IBM Informix Guide to SQL: Reference.
