IDS Next Version - features wanted.
A poster asked what features people wanted in the next IDS after 10.00 and what Smooth Upgrade of HDR meant. Neil Truby asked for autonomics to be removed. Jonathan Leffler explained that upgrading an HDR pair means breaking the pair, upgrading both servers, a level 0 archive on the primary, restore on the secondary and resynchronizing, leaving a long gap without HDR protection.

The upgrade process for an HDR pair is not as simple and smooth as it should be. Specifically, you have to: break the pair, upgrade the servers, do a level 0 archive on the primary, recover it on the secondary, and resynchronize. That's a long time without HDR protection. Yes, there are a variety of other steps that should be taken (such as a precautionary backup of the previous version, etc), but that's the gist of the problem. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.01 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
