upgrade to Informix 9.40.HC4
Michael Adrian upgraded from 7.31 to 9.40 on HP-UX 11.0 and could no longer run i4gl (4GL 7.20.UD8), getting unknown error 10636. Alexey Sonkin and Andreas Kutsche advised installing the server and 4GL in separate INFORMIXDIRs because the new server overwrites files 4GL needs. Clifton M. Bean said the recommended pairing was 4GL 7.32.FC2 with CSDK 2.81, so 4GL likely needs upgrading. No confirmation of the fix.

Hello, We just upgrade from Informix 7.31 to 9.40. We are on HP-UX 11.0. Since the upgrade, I can not run the tool 'i4gl'. The 4GL version is 7.20.UD8. The error I receive when starting 'i4gl' is as follows. Unknown error message 10636. This is all the further I can get. Any ideas? Thanks. M.J.Adrian
MICHAEL, Do You have 4GL installed in the same directory as IDS? If 'yes', You can re-install it into a separate INFORMIXDIR to prevent any library or message file interference In my opinion, it's a bad idea to install different Informix products into the same directory (on UNIX) - though, You can try to avoid problems through the use of correct installation order ------------------------------------------ Alexey Sonkin > -----Original Message----- > From: MICHAEL ADRIAN [mailto:adrianm@mdusd.k12.ca.us] > > Hello, > We just upgrade from Informix 7.31 to 9.40.

When we ordered the 9.40.FC4 (SOLARIS 8 (64-bit) environment, the following software was recommended for our installation of 4GL. SQL, ENGINE and CSDK software: 1. 4GL Compiler Development V7.32.FC2 2. 4GL Compiler R/T V7.32.FC2 3. ISQL Development V7.32.FC2 4. ISQL Runtime V7.32.FC2 5. IDS 9.40.FC4 6. CSDK 2.81.FC2R1 You probably need to upgrade your 4GL software. Take care. Clifton MICHAEL ADRIAN <adrianm@mdusd.k12.ca.us> wrote: Hello, We just upgrade from Informix 7.31 to 9.40.

Thanks. >M.J.Adrian = Hi, = I presume you installed the new server into the old INFORMIXDIR (or you i= nstalled everything into a new directory, the new server last) ? The new server overwrites some older files that 4GL needs. = I recommend to install the server and the tool/tools into different direc= tories, for example: /opt/informix.9.40 for the server /opt/i4gl for the 4GL /opt/ifxsdk for SDK things like ESQL/C , ODBC = You should create links for /opt/informix.9.40/etc/sqlhosts in the other = directories. = To use 4GL you set INFORMIXDIR to /opt/i4gl . Maybe you have to install the Informix connect software into /opt/i4gl - = I'm not sure if 4GL comes with all the connect libraries needed. If you have to install the connect software it might be necessary to inst= all an older version (like that from 7.31) to work with 4GL. In that case you haveto s= et SHLIB_PATH too. Connect-SW installation is not necessary for SDK-things, because the SDK = contains the connect software. But the setting of SHLIB_PATH may be necessary. = I'm very interested in experiences about compatibility of IDS 9.40 (and e= specially the new connect libraries version 2.81) with older applications (like 4GLprog= rams). = Regards, Andreas Kutsche = ------------------------------------------------ SPAR Oesterreichische Warenhandels-AG Hauptzentrale Europastra=DFe 3 A-5015 Salzburg = Telefon : +43 662 4470 24423 E-Mail : Andreas.KUTSCHE@spar.at Internet: http://www.spar.at ------------------------------------------------ = ----LNX_Fri_Jun_18_2004_14:47:38_V3.33----
