Multiconnect to external Informix database

[pole_li]

Hi all,

We are in SAP ECC5.0 , oracle db, HP-UX OS, we want to connect to an external informix database and use native sql in ABAP to access it. As per sap notes, we config DBCO, and download dbinfslib.sl, but we don't know where we should place the dbinfslib.sl file in HP-UX, what else config we should do in HP-UX system, Could anyone help us ? thanks very much.

The library has to be put in directory /usr/sap/<sid>/SYS/exe/run. Details of setting up a secondary connection to an Informix database can be found in SAP note 421026.

Kind regards

Hi,Martin,

Thanks for your reply.

We got the following error when loading the dbinfslib:

• ERROR => Version mismatch between kernel (640.00) and DBSL shared library**

Our SAP system kernel is 640,but it's a unicode system, Maybe it's not possible to connect informix in a unicode system?

Hmm, usually it means that dbinfslib is not of the same release as the kernel. Can you double check if you really installed the dbinfslib library 6.40 that fits to the kernel?

Kind regards

Martin

We have checked that, we got the right version dbinfslib library 6.40 . Maybe It's due to the unicode problem.We will confirm it with sap, thanks again.
