how to reduce time out connecting to a informix instance - odbc

I need to reduce the time to get an error when connecting to an unavailable instance.
The problem is that I can't modify the machine configuration. And currently I'm using the ODBC drivers.
The Informix client-sdk can be from 3.50 to 3.70tc3
the instance version is probably 10.x
and the clients run from windows XP thru Windows 7

Set the environment variable INFORMIXCONTIME to any value in seconds that fits your application

Can't change Replication properties for Linux VM in Azure Site Recovery

We replicete some Windows and Linux VMs from Hyper-V to Azure
As a part of recovery preparation we need to change VMs params, e.g. size, nsg, resource group to be recovered into (different from ASR vault RG) via Set-AzRecoveryServicesAsrReplicationProtectedItem cmdlet
For windows it works well, but for Linux we're getting Failed to update the LicenseType for the physical or virtual machine.
We don't need to change anything related to license, just RG to be recovered into
Why this issue is happening and how can we workaround it?
the solution is to specify param -LicenseType to be NoLicenseType

When Every Time i restarted my system, my oracle will stop their services.. what is the reason?

Actually, I'm using oracle 11g enterprise edition so that the connection and functionality is all right but when i restarted my computer and try to connect with database it show "THE NETWORK ADAPTER CANNOT ESTABLISH THE CONNECTION" again i'm start the oracle services this was some time waste for every time
so can anyone tell how to fix it.
In windows... You can set OracleXETNSListner,OracleServiceXE Startup Type Automatic.
Open task manager>services>find OracleXETNSListner,OracleServiceXE>click right>open services> find OracleXETNSListner,OracleServiceXE> set Startup type Automatic.

Oracle 12 Client odbc empty TNS

I have installed an oracle 12 Client on a windows 8 computer and on a windows 7 computer.
Using sqlplus I can connect to my database. Also the tnsping shows the right tns.
But when I try to set an odbc connection the TNS list is empty.
If I try to type the tns connection the test works, but when I try to launch my program from visual studio 2013 I get a general connection error.
I've already tried the fixes I could find on the internet (like checking that I have the 64 bit client and the 64 bit app, making a TNS_ADMIN environment variable set).
Mostly I'm wondering about the odbc problem.(this app is not using this type of connection, but I'm considering it - if I can be sure there are no problems).

Can a Progress Client & ODBC Client access a Personal database at the same time?

Working on Progress 9.1E on a Windows box. We've got a standard 4GL GUI application up and running which connects to a series of personal databases running on the same box. It's sort of like a big graphical catalogue application with ordering capabilities.
Anyhow, we're looking to run a .Net application on the same box and Progress supplies a Merant ODBC driver along with it's runtime.
My question is, can I have the 4GL GUI client application up and running and connected to the Progress databases while at the same time connecting and running the .Net application which connects via an OBDC System DSN to the same databases?
These "personal" databases are traditionally single user, but I'm wondering (or have heard through rumours) that you can actually run an ODBC client in addition to a 4GL client on the same box at the same time.
Truth to this?
You can run both a 4GL client and an ODBC client, but you can't run them both single user at the same time. You'll need to start a server for each of the DBs you want concurrent access to. You can run the server process on the same machine, if you have the licence, if that helps.

Responsive lightweight remote GUI connection

Currently I know several methods of connecting to a GUI remotely, or running GUI applications remotely:
Microsoft Terminal Services (only
works for remote windows;
installation);
VNC (it's slow);
XDMCP (requires a remote X server
running, has no session persistance);
Local X as remote DISPLAY for
applications (best solution, but -
no session persistance).
We are trying to create Solaris development environments that can replace local workstations for our developers. So one of the requirements is session persistence, and/or session mobility. And another requirement is for it to be fast, and it has to run on Solaris/UNIX.
Are there any lightweight solutions for this?
Either NoMachine (http://www.nomachine.com/) or FreeNX (http://freenx.berlios.de/) sounds like what you want. Fast, keeps session if your connection drops and even works over SSH so your connections are encrypted.
