upgrade to 11.70.TC3IE from 11.70.TC1IE

I was unable to get 11.70.TC3IE to install over the 11.70.TC1IE installation so I uninstalled TC1, leaving the spaces, installed TC3, let it create and instance, and then shutdown, edit the config to change the ROOTPATH and ROOTSIZE to agree with the old spaces from TC1 and then restart IDS . At first I thought it had crashed, but the next day I found all 7 dbspaces and everything seems to work. Is this the proper procedure for doing this? Or Is this just a miracle that I got for the good Karma I had saved up? The log has stuff like this: 20:30:42 Conversion from version 11.70 Started 20:30:45 A restore point was created and data is being stored in directory C:\\Informix\\tmp/13. 20:30:46 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Initialized -- Shared Memory Initialized. 20:30:48 Init operation complete - Mode Quiescent 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started check phase of conversion for component RSAM 20:30:48 *** RSAM 1 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished check phase of conversion for component RSAM 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started check phase of conversion for component SQL 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished check phase of conversion for component SQL 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started check phase of conversion for component SMI 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished check phase of conversion for component SMI 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started check phase of conversion for component BAR 20:30:48 *** BAR 1 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished check phase of conversion for component BAR 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started check phase of conversion for component PLOAD 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished check phase of conversion for component PLOAD 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started check phase of conversion for component RTREE 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished check phase of conversion for component RTREE 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started check phase of conversion for component SECURE 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished check phase of conversion for component SECURE 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started check phase of conversion for component SCHAPI 20:30:48 *** SCHAPI 1 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished check phase of conversion for component SCHAPI 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started check phase of conversion for component HA 20:30:48 *** HA 1 11.10xC1 *** 20:30:48 *** HA 1 11.50xC1 *** 20:30:48 *** HA 1 11.50xC6 *** 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished check phase of conversion for component HA 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started conversion for component RSAM 20:30:48 *** RSAM 1 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:48 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 0 seconds. 20:30:48 Tue Aug 02 - loguniq 110, logpos 0x2d140b4, timestamp: 0x1875816e Interval: 17374 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Finished conversion for component RSAM 20:30:48 Conv/rev: Started conversion for component SQL 20:30:48 processing sysmaster 20:30:48 *** SQL 1 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:48 Converting database sysmaster ... 20:30:49 The database sysmaster has been converted successfully. 20:30:49 *** SQL 1 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:49 processing cheer 20:30:49 *** SQL 2 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:49 Converting database cheer ... 20:30:50 The database cheer has been converted successfully. 20:30:50 *** SQL 2 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:50 The dummy updates succeeded while converting database cheer. 20:30:50 processing sysadmin 20:30:50 *** SQL 3 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:50 Converting database sysadmin ... 20:30:50 The database sysadmin has been converted successfully. 20:30:50 *** SQL 3 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:51 The dummy updates succeeded while converting database sysadmin. 20:30:51 processing sysutils 20:30:51 *** SQL 4 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:51 Converting database sysutils ... 20:30:51 The database sysutils has been converted successfully. 20:30:51 *** SQL 4 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:51 processing sysuser 20:30:51 *** SQL 5 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:51 Converting database sysuser ... 20:30:51 The database sysuser has been converted successfully. 20:30:51 *** SQL 5 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:51 The dummy updates succeeded while converting database sysuser. 20:30:51 processing team 20:30:51 *** SQL 6 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:51 Converting database team ... 20:30:52 The database team has been converted successfully. 20:30:52 *** SQL 6 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:52 The dummy updates succeeded while converting database team. 20:30:52 processing demo 20:30:52 *** SQL 7 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:52 Converting database demo ... 20:30:52 The database demo has been converted successfully. 20:30:52 *** SQL 7 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:53 The dummy updates succeeded while converting database demo. 20:30:53 processing mgt 20:30:53 *** SQL 8 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:53 Converting database mgt ... 20:30:53 Defragmenter cleaner thread now running 20:30:53 Defragmenter cleaner thread cleaned:0 partitions 20:30:53 The database mgt has been converted successfully. 20:30:53 *** SQL 8 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:54 The dummy updates succeeded while converting database mgt. 20:30:54 Conv/rev: Finished conversion for component SQL 20:30:54 Conv/rev: Started conversion for component SMI 20:30:54 *** SMI 1 11.70xC3 *** 20:30:54 Build of sysmaster and sysutils databases Started 20:30:54 Converting/Rebuilding 'sysmaster' database ... 20:30:54 Single-User Mode. 20:31:20 Checkpoint Completed: duration was 1 seconds. 20:31:20 Tue Aug 02 - loguniq 110, logpos 0x3469018, timestamp: 0x18776731 Interval: 17376 20:31:20 Maximum server connections 0 20:31:20 Checkpoint Statistics - Avg.
