Been in production since Jan 1998 ....... Our current environment consists of the following: PeopleSoft HRMS 6.01, Financials 6.0 both running PeopleTool 6.11 HP-UX 10.20, Informix 7.3UC3. No major problems as of yet. Some performance problems with Billing SQR SQL, but were able to pin-point problems and fixed them. Locking is sometimes an issue within the different modules. Most PS tables are using row level, but can sometimes hangup due to lock timeouts. Most of these types of processes run nightly and cause no problems during daily OLTP. If you need any assistance or input, just contact me at work tjones@romac.com PS Tech support is (1 to 10), I give it an 8. They do have tech engineers that handle only Informix related questions and fixes. Tim Jones Romac International Database Admin
