Dear friends as far as I understand, the upgrade from IDS 9.40.UCx to IDS 9.40.FCx is only dynamic shared memory matter, which means no job on chunks needs to be done, only ONCONFIG shared memory parameters and binaries replacement is required. Could you confirm? Or am I wrong? Thanks a lot Regards Rasto sending to informix-list

Could you confirm? Or am I wrong? There are small changes on disk, but the server looks after those for you. Yes, to upgrade from 9.40.UCx to 9.40.FCy (y >= x) is simply a question of installing the new software and restarting the server. IIRC, in 9.40 you can also revert 64-bit to 32-bit - I forget whether there's a manual step to do or not. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.01 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
