--0__=EPlGlQAH0TzgegzfoXUadIRMgw2IrR0SrnAlvxW1Ul9cQnSgTmwd4Jy2 Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable No - you have to do an export /import. Since Informix version 7.2x where GLS were introduced there is only the= hard way with dbexport/dbimport. If you have enough space you can configure a Informix 7.3x server and = then convert one database at a time otherwise you have export all your databases, reconfigure the OnLine server and then do the import part. M= eans no 7*24 for quite a while. Good luck. Bjarne Alm.

This is a 24*7 production system. Whole database is larger than 10GB. If we upgrade to 7.3, is it possible to keep the data and upgrade DS itself? Cause I don't know how long will it take to dbexport and dbimport the whole database, we can not afford very long down time. Anyone has the experience or suggestion ?
