Hi, my first steps trying to access an informix table residing on a different AW51C were not successful. The sql statements are for example select id from rootdbs@AW51C:all_points select id from historian@AW51C:all_points The first error message was 931: Cannot locate sqlexec service/tcp service in /etc/services. That drives me to modify the /etc/services file by adding two entries sqlexec 1525/tcp sqlturbo 1526/tcp Another attempt to run the sql statements results in another error message 908: Attempt to connect to database server (aw51c) failed. Bad file number Is someone familiar with Informix star?
