After you set up the network environment, test the connections
between the replication servers. You cannot test a connection that
uses the s=6 option in the sqlhosts file.
Procedure
To test the network environment:
- Verify the network connection.
Use the
ping command
to test the connection between two systems. For example, from
ny.usa.com,
test the connection to
tokyo.japan.com:
ping tokyo.japan.com
- Test the trusted environment:
- Run dbaccess as
user informix or as the owner if it is a non-root server.
- Select the Connection menu option.
- Select the Connect menu option.
- Connect to the server group name and the server name of the other
hosts.
For example, if you are running dbaccess on ny.usa.com,
and you are testing the connection to a database server on tokyo.japan.com,
select serv2 and g_serv2.
- When prompted for the USER NAME, press
Enter
.
If you can connect to the host database
server, the host server trusts the connection from the remote host
as user informix or as the owner if the remote host is a non-root
server.

Guide.
