Host database is correct....this is been working so far....suddenly the probelm started coming.....

[Ian Miller.]

could it be a problem doing DNS lookups (if the DNS resolver is enabled - see UCX SHOW NAME) - the DNS servers ok?

[Sunil_uk]

DNS server is not enabled

What's the output of $ UCX SHOW HOST /LOCAL?
Is tgev02.hoc in there?

IP address TGEV02
127.0.0.1 localhost.

FTP 127.0.0.1 also gives failed to get host information for tgev02.HOC from database.

Perhaps you shoud reconfigure UCX via UCX$CONFIG, esp. the part CORE->INTERFACES and reenter your data.

Thank you all,

I deleted UCX$*.dat files and reconfigured
UCX. now the things ar working....
Thank you all


One more clarification, when I configured it again, it created all files with version 5.
any clue?.

The config procedure checks, if you have those files redirected via logical names and uses these logical name to create the files. May be there were come logical names left over from the previous configuration.
You deleted just the files and UCX$CONFIG recreated them using the logical names with their former version number.
