It sounds like you will be performing a dbexport/dbimport type upgrade which is what I always prefer if you are not under very large database constraints. If you will be doing this on the same box as your current engine, I would recommend you setup a completely separate $INFORMIXDIR for the new versions so that you can switch back to your old versions relatively easily. We recently upgraded a client company from HP-UX 11.00/IDS 7.31.FC4 to HP-UX11i/IDS 9.30.FC3 (their packaged application did not support 9.40 at the time) and everything went very smoothly. We have several client sites running 9.40 very happily (but none of them are on HP-UX 11i at the moment). Hal Maner M Systems International, Inc. www.msystemsintl.com
