Re: IDS 32-bit vs 64-bit compatibility?

Jeffrey, In addition to Art's and Paul's reply please be aware of your storage manager (sm) client if using onbar for backup/ restore. The related xbsa lib and sm client should then have 64-bit as well due to onbar_d 64-bit -> sm client 64-bit. That's one possible compatiblity issue... Of course, your onconfig should be tuned after switching to 64-bit. Please be aware of non-technical discussion in informix-forum. I am trying to re-address, don't know whether this works...
