If you use the TCP/IP communication protocol, you might need to add an entry to the services file for the new database server instance. If you use the IPX/SPX communication protocol, you might need to modify the connection information for the NetWare server.
The sqlhosts file must have an entry for each database server. If IBM Informix products on other computers access this instance of the database server, the administrators on those computers must update their sqlhosts files.
If you plan to use TCP/IP network connections with an instance of a database server, the system network administrator must update the hosts and services files. If you use an IPX/SPX network, the NetWare administrator must update the NetWare file-server information.
For information about these files, see the chapter on client/server communications in the IBM Informix: Administrator's Guide.
