Hi, About 6 weeks have passed after contacting IBM support, complaning the missing of iif.12.10.FC5IE.SOL-10.tar on the download server. But nothing happened. The file still is not there. Good support is something different. Regards, Frank -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: IBM`s Reply...

Hi Frank, not what you want to hear, but it should clarify things: "The Innovator-C Edition is available on Linux, Windows and Mac platforms..." http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/infoinnoedit Basically, the problem is that other platforms are still listed for download. I had reported this internally some weeks ago, but it hasn't been corrected yet.
Hi Wolfgang, this statement ist no longer true. It was true many months ago, I think when Informix 12 was released. But some time later this restriction was skipped although the statement on the web page ist still the same. From one of your US colleagues I got a mail today, that the file is there now, CC was sent to Jerry Keesee. I downloaded and installed it successfully now just waiting now that running job finish and I can bounce and restart the instance.

Thanks for the update. This is interesting, as I had been told about this limited availability just some weeks ago by Informix release management. Anyway, I'm glad about the way things turned out. In the meantime the download works for Aix as well, which is the platform another customer reported the download file would be missing for. So I can pass on some unexpected good news...
