Any upgrade from 7.31 may require extra space for the conversion, not much but if your dbspaces are full you may run into problems. Your ONCONFIG will need changes - read the documentation that comes with IDS 10. I would strongly suggest you test your conversion with your data on a second identical server or at the very least perform a level 0 archive with 7.31 before starting. Ben.
