- You omit the following sentences in the message description:
-
- "...If so, please note all circumstances and contact the Informix
- Technical Support Department."
-
- Had you done that, somebody would very quickly have told you
- about bug #14144, ERROR 403 OCCURS WHEN RETRIEVE SITENAME FROM REMOTE
- SERVER, described thus:
-
- [The following SQL statement failed with Error 403 ]
- [ ]
- [ database ssu021a; ]
- [ select * from table1; ]
- [ select sitename from ssu021b@ymooky:systables; ]
- [ ]
- [The problem is caused by the "sitename" in the SELECT statement. ]
-
- If this is your problem, work around it by not selecting the sitename.
- The fix appears in version 5.01.UC1.
