Informix 11.50 system requirements
SangGyu Jeong asked whether Informix 11.50.FC7W3 could be installed on AIX 7.1 for a customer moving from HP-UX. Art Kagel and Paul Watson said it is out of support and might not work; SangGyu found AIX 7.1 listed in the 11.50.xC8 machine notes and would advise 11.50.FC8 or higher. Chanaka Perera asked about 11.50.FC8 on RedHat; Art advised upgrading to 12.10 or 14.10.

Hi, My customer plans to migrate Informix 11.50.FC7W3 on HP-UX to the same Informix version on AIX. My customer doesn't want to upgrade Informix. Can I install 11.50.FC7W3 on AIX 7.1? Thanks, ------------------------------ SangGyu Jeong Software Engineer Infrasoft Seoul Korea, Republic of ------------------------------ #Informix
SanGyu: You know that 11.50 is out-of-support, so you might give it a try if you happen to have the install files for AIX. That release was probably built for AIX v5 or v6 so it was never supported on v7.1 is my guess. It may work. It may not. Art Art S.

Try it and run some tests but you will have zero support from IBM Cheers Paul Paul Watson Oninit LLC +1-913-387-7529 www.oninit.com Oninit® is a registered trademark of Oninit LLC
Thank you Paul. Of course, the customer and I know that this version of Informix is not supported by IBM. ------------------------------ SangGyu Jeong Software Engineer Infrasoft Seoul Korea, Republic of ------------------------------
Thanks you Art, In the machine notes for Informix 11.50.xC8, AIX 7.1 is mentioned. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGU8G_11.50.0/com.ibm.relnotes.doc/ifx_1150xc8/mach/ids_machine_notes_11.50.aix64.html So, I would like to advise my customer to install 11.50.FC8 or higher. ------------------------------ SangGyu Jeong Software Engineer Infrasoft Seoul Korea, Republic of ------------------------------
Hi Art, I have same kind of requirement. Planning to move exiting "informix 11.50.FC8GE" version from HP-UX to RedHat. I could not find release notes document for the IDS 11.50. So could you please help me to find compatible RedHat version for the "informix 11.50.FC8GE" ? Chanaka ------------------------------ Chanaka Perera ------------------------------
Chanaka: As I told SanGyu, v11.50 has been out-of-support for more than a decade. You are unlikely to find anyone who has a copy of the install files from that period and if you did, it is unlikely that it would work properly with any current RHEL release. You are going to have to upgrade to a currently supported release which would be either 12.10 or 14.10 (note that v12.10 is likely to go out-of-support in 2024).
