Hello,

First you must have Informix SDK or Informix Connect installed on your PC.
Second, you must get informations from your DBA
Is your server a Windows Server or a Unix (or Linux) Server ?

Server = The name of your Informix instance (Value of the INFORMIXSERVER
environment variable on the server)
Host = Name ot IP address of your server (Unix or Windows server)
Protocol = olsoctcp
Service = service name or TCP/IP port number to access to Informix Server

If you have a Unix Server, you can find :
SERVER => in the file $INFORMIXDIR/etc/$ONCONFIG, SERVERNAME or
SERVERALIASES parameter, or in the file $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts (first
column) .
PROTOCOL => in the file $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts (second column)
HOST => in the file $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts (third column) or in the file
/etc/hosts (if static IP address)
SERVICE => in the file $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts (fourth column). If it's a
service name, you can get port number in the file /etc/services.
Hope this will help you.

Regards
AR

Hi

If you do not have Informix Connect or would rather not install that
software, there is also the alternative of installing a client/server
that doesn't need any Informix software other than the database
installed. This can be got from www.openlinksw.com
