We recently made a similar move ' AIX4.3.3 to 5.2 and IDS 9.30 32 bit to
9.40 64bit.
We did the dbexport and dbimport with no snags.
The AIX5.2 was a new server. We did not install 9.40 on the 4.3.3 and
then try to upgrade the OS. That might give you some headaches. IDS is
so quick to install I would upgrade the OS first, install IDS, and just
copy/edit your Onconfig. Is your 9.40 ported for 5.2?

Currently at AIX 4.3.3 (ML10) and IDS 9.21.UC4 and will be upgrading
to AIX 5.2 and IDS 9.40.UC2 (using 32bit kernel and staying that way).
Question: Is there any reason not to install (pre-install) IDS 9.40 (a
new INFORMIXDIR of course) while the OS is still at AIX 4.3.3?
But will not be initializing any instances until after AIX is at 5.2.
Save some time during implementation and can get the onconfig/sqlhosts
(and whatever) files setup and checked. Also upgrading 4GL and SQL to
7.32 from 7.30.
And while here, any thoughts on migration where we are doing a
dbexport from the 9.21 instances and a dbimport into new 9.40
instances? Initial testing has not discovered any issues. Then later
blow away the 9.21 instances. Very small databases (5GB each) but we
run 17 instances on a S80 with 18processors and 12GB memory attached
to shark (IBM ESS) disk.
Thanks for any help!
