IDS9.3 to IDS9.4 replication issue

I have a project where it is necessary for me to add an IDS9.4 server to a replicated set of servers that are running IDS9.3. Adding the server to the set is not the problem. The trouble occurs with the repls. The "cdr change repl" command appears to work. However, data will not replicate between the new server and the exsisting servers. If I drop the repl and rebuild it including the new server, then replication works. This is an option I need to avoid. Informix support suggested using the CDRSITES environment variable. But this does not seem to work. DDR will not start on the new server with the variarble set. Bob Boardley Informix DBA West Teleservices.

The case number is 437894. To date I have been able to add a new server to the repl. But in order for replication to work I have to do a cdr stop on all servers in the set and then restart.
