Hi, I´m trying to run Informix Server 7.31 on a Solaris (5.7) machine
but i found a little problem...
When I run it in "shared memory" mode I have no problem but when I try
to run it using NIX socket I catch this message:

"oninit: Fatal error in initializing ASF with 'ASF_INIT_DATA' flags:
asfcode='25507'"

I have been searching this error code but I only find that this message
is related to SERVERNAMEALIAS...
I also have read some documents about intalling process and I think I´m
following the right steps... Or not?
Thanks!!

Under Solaris you need to use ontlitcp not onsoctcp

Ok with ontlitcp, but if I want to make a connection from a client
installed on a Windows machine to the server installed on the Solaris
machine, is still valid this nettype?

You connect via tcp, the NT end uses sockets and the Solaris end
uses tli - it's all do with the ISO OSI model, tli/soc are Application
Layer (??) but the underlying network layer is tcp
in both cases.

Ehhhh don't worry about it. There's too much to learn in this game. That
little subject is confussing, but as Paul pointed out, TLI vs. SOC are
internal API implementations that are irrelevant to what happens on the
network wire.

(Berkely) Sockets are an earlier defacto standard for implementing
networking using TCP, UDP and friends. TLI came into existence when a
standards committee got together and decided to formalise everything.
Apparently they are mildly different for the programmer, but I've never seen
a difference that means anything in my modest efforts at little network
programming tasks.
