Dear Friends,

We are developing an interface for an existing Informix 4GL application that accesses INFORMIX SE database under AIX UNIX 4.3 using SEIPCPIP protocol.

The interface application is a client server application and requires TCP protocol to be enabled at the INFROMIX server.

My question is - what are the changes that are required in INFORMIX 4GL application to connect to the database using SESOCTCP protocol? Is it enough if the sqlhosts file alone is changed or does it warrant any change in the INFORMIX 4GL application?

Hi,

In SE you need to do two things:

1. Change the sqlhosts file to sesoctcp

2. Start that tcp/ip deamon. (See SE manual for more info)

The second point is a typical SE issue.

Greetz,
