Re: Informix replication (7.13.UC3) questions and problems

Someone (was it Tim) sayd a day or two ago that there are several bugs fixed in ver. 7.22 of a sufficiently grave nature that you should upgrade to this version. In the release notes for 7.22 available on the web at http://www.informix.com/informix/services/ilink/relnotes/relnotes.htm there is a note about a replication related bug. I don't know if it has anything to do with your situation. If you are on regular maintenacne this should be a free upgrade I would assume.
