Hi,

We are using Informix Dynamic Server 2000 on SCO Openserver 5.

We keep getting -27001 Read error occurred during connection attempt error messages every couple of days. We use an IIS5 web server to connect to Informix using the Informix Iconnect ODBC driver (2.81).

I have tried to sort this out myself, but I have failed.

In the onconfig file there are 2 nettype lines :-

NETTYPE ipcshm,1,200,CPU # Configure poll thread(s) for nettype
NETTYPE tlitcp,1,20,NET # Configure poll thread(s) for nettype

I think the tlitcp line doesn not have sufficient poll threads. We have about 50-100 people who access the informix database through a web page.
Should i increase the number to 100?

Cheers,

paul

Hi Paul,
In the NETTYPE there are only 20 concurrent users configured. You can increase it to 100-250 to handle your 50-100 users. The configuration would be like
NETTYPE tlitcp,1,200,NET



Bye.

Do you get this error on the server or on the client side?

You can try increasing the poll threads and see if that helps

I have now changed the nettype to
NETTYPE tlitcp,1,200,NET

I will see if this cures the error. Thanks to pathri and artemka!

After changing the NETTYPE parameters, the system stayed up a couple of days without the error message, but I have receivied it again and had to 'KICK' informix again. Any other suggestions?

Hi Paul,

Please test the sqlhosts files if the connection is "tlitcp" or "ontlitcp".
I think that is "ontlitcp"

Hi,

These are the only 2 entrys in our sqlhosts file.


ol_wgs oltlitcp scosysv sqlturbo
ol_wgs_shm olipcshm scosysv srv_agent

We connect using olsoctcp in the ODBC connection using Informix connect.

To be honest I am not sure what all the different protocols are that you can choose in Informix connect.

Cheers,

Paul

Could anyone help with the above as informix keeps freezing on me.

Cheers,

Paul
