How to Test DRDA Connection for Informix database server

How To


Summary

Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) is a set of protocols that enable communication between applications and database systems on disparate platforms, and enables relational data to be distributed among multiple platforms. Any combination of relational database management products that use DRDA can be connected to form a distributed relational database management system. DRDA coordinates communication between systems by defining what is exchanged and the exchange method. You can configure the database server to use DRDA to respond to requests from a common API, such as the IBM® Data Server JDBC Driver or the IBM Data Server .NET Provider.

Informix does not have a built in utility to test the DRDA connection. dbaccess does not allow drda connection ( drsoctcp ) and when tried it will fail with below error,

-1803 Connection does not exist.
