Hello,
I need to access a Unidata database residing on an AIX unix server using CF from a Windows server. I currently access this same db/server from CF on my linux server with no problem. I set up the new datasource in CF Admin on the windows server using the same parameters I use on my linux server:

JDBC URL =
jdbc:ibm-u2://<servername>//datatel/coll18/production/apphome;dbmstype=UNIDATA;
DRIVER CLASS = com.ibm.u2.jdbc.UniJDBCDriver
DRIVER NAME = UniJDBC

and put in the same username and password that I use from the Linux. The datasource will not verify, I get this error:

Connection verification failed for data source: hb2504_colleague
java.sql.SQLException: Timed out trying to establish connection
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Timed out trying to establish
connection

The network administrator says the windows server and AIX server ARE able to communicate and there is no firewall in the way. If this is not a network issue, is there any other cause? Do I need to change the parameters in the datasource since it is a windows server? (the unijdbc driver was installed on
the windows server and then CF service was restarted).

thanks much for any help,
Julie

Please check the firewall setting in the database server
