There is very much more to it than that. After several month heavy use in an OLTP setting you might still have undetected bugs. >The only thing we noticed is that is that it now enforces license limits >as USERTHREADS is no longer a configurable paramater!!!. Can anyone >confirm this. Whether it enforces license limits I don't know, but the fact that USERTHREADS is no longer configurable has nothing to do with that. This is a new feature where the corresponding internals in the engine is dynamically tuned instead. One less thing to worry about. >>Of course, 7.2 is due out within days (weeks), but I don't typically >>like to be the first one on my block with a new version of the >engine... >>I'd rather have y'all debug it for me first! :-) >According to Informix's web-site 7.2 is already out is this only on >first-tier platforms?? >PS We have just ordered C4Gl 6.03.UC1. Is that the latest version? The "latest" version is so dependent on your platform that this is realy a question for your Informix sales contact, at least until the search facility on Informix TechInfo senter on the web is upgraded to function better - something they are working actively on.
