RE: DEC & OnLine/RDS Migration
HI,
Digital Unix 4.0.a has a new kernel parameter (new-wire-method=1) that causes corruption at Informix (ODS 7.20) and Sybase databases.
Just set it to 0.
Hope it helps
Ivan

Hi all!
Interested in receiving feedback from anyone who performed an upgrade
similar to the following:

Digital Unix 3.0b Digital Unix 4.0a
OnLine 5.x ODS 7.2x

- Other problems/tips
- Special onconfig tuning hints
- RDS issues
- Previously allowed syntax constructs that are problematic on upgrade
- New reserved words
- Undocumented problems/tips
- Other problems
- ISQL issues
