Update the sqlhosts File

The sqlhosts file must have an entry for each database server. If IBM Informix products on other computers access this instance of the database server, the administrators on those computers must update their sqlhosts files. Client/Server Communications, discusses the preparation of the sqlhosts file.

If you plan to use TCP/IP network connections with an instance of a database server, the system network administrator must update the hosts and services files. If you use an IPX/SPX network, the NetWare administrator must update the NetWare file-server information. For information about these files, refer to Network-Configuration Files and IPX/SPX Connectivity Files.
