I'm wondering about your setup.
To my knowledge,
* AIM*API does not install on a generic PC. Rather, it installs on an AW.
* An AIM*API client library (DLL) installs on the generic PC
The client library enables applications like AIM*OPC DA Server or AIM*Historian
to find the AW with AIM*API on it and obtain data from that system.
When setup in this fashion,
* On the AW, you will an_init.tcp is installed in /opt/aim/bin.
* On the client PC, you will have an_init.cfg installed in a folder generally
with the application that is using AIM*API.
An_init.tcp contains the information required by AIM*API to control access to
its services based on license codes among other things.
An_init.cfg contains information, e.g., IP addresses and port numbers, required
by the AIM*API client to find the data source, i.e., the AW with AIM*API
installed and licensed for clients.
Thus, I would not expect to find an_init.tcp on your client PC. I would expect
to find it on the AW from which data will be sourced. I would expect to find
an_init.cfg on your client PC.
Could you share with us what you are trying to do?

an_init.tcp is a file that defines your network and other AIM parameters.
Either the file is missing or the path is not reachable by your start-up
program. Read through the start-up program to see where tit is looking then
check that location for the file and then that it correctly defines the port.
