Hi: I am currently working on Cisco Unified Manager that was installed under Linux. It has Informix 10 UC5 database built-in to maintain the Call Manager database (Risdb). It doesn't allow any direct access to the database and use SOAP protocol or built-in command line interface to query the database. I am looking into take the copy of database backup (ontape) and restore onto Solaris 10 environment. I checked the ibm.com web site for evaluation copy, found only 11.5 version of it. Is there an option to download 10 UC5 for Solaris and need to know whether the ontape backup from Linux is compatible with Solaris to restore on a daily basis. Thank You Ramesh Vasudevan

ontape cannot restore cross-platform neither cross version The files are binary, and will probably not work anyway. Besides this, are you sure that there are no policy/license that prevents this usage?

There is no policy issues. Its just that, I can use the existing server to restore it. Otherwise, I need to procure new Linux box to restore on a daily basis. Thank You Ramesh Vasudevan
