Error While Creating Informix Connection Pool

Question

Hi,
I am trying to port an application from Weblogic 6.1 to Weblogic 8.1. The Application accesses Informix database. I used the following driver, url and properties while connecting to this database using Weblogic 6.1
url:->jdbc:weblogic:informix4:snss_live
Driver ClassName :-> weblogic.jdbc.informix.InformixDriver
Properties :->
port=22000
user=snssadmn
password=snssadmn
server=10.115.26.40
The above used to work fine with weblogic 6.1
With Weblogic 8.1, I am using the following properties
url :-> jdbc:bea:informix://10.115.26.40:22000;informixServer=10.115.26.40;databaseName=snss_live
Driver ClassName :-> weblogic.jdbc.informix.InformixDriver
Properties :->
informixServer=10.115.26.40
user=snssadmn
portNumber=22000
databaseName=snss_live
serverName=10.115.26.40
However using these properties I am getting the following error while deploying the Connection Pool to the Managed Server
<Dec 29, 2004 12:26:53 PM EST> <Warning> <JDBC> <BEA-001129> <Received exception while creating connection for pool "Btv_Vms_Pool": [BEA][Informix JDBC Driver][Informix]INFORMIXSERVER does not match either DBSERVERNAME or DBSERVERALIASES.>
<Dec 29, 2004 12:26:54 PM EST> <Error> <JDBC> <BEA-001150> <Connection Pool "Btv_Vms_Pool" deployment failed with the following error: 0:Could not create pool connection. The DBMS driver exception was: [BEA][Informix JDBC Driver][Informix]INFORMIXSERVER does not match either DBSERVERNAME or DBSERVERALIASES..>
Any idea as to why this is happening

Hi. I suspect that the databaseName property is causing the problem in
8.1. Remove it and see if that works. Also, try running:
java utils.dbping, and giving it the properties it asks for, for your
Informix connection. Once it succeeds in making a connection, it will
print out the URL and properties it used. Then define the pool with
those (and only those) properties and URL.
