We have a 3rd party application that is running against an Informix-SE 4.1 database on HP-UX 9.04. We have been told that, as part of an application upgrade we will be moving to Informix-SE 7.1 on HP-UX 10.20. If anyone has experience of this sort of move with Informix I would be grateful if you could let me know things like: - how straightforward an upgrade is it ? - are there any problems to watch out for ? - any other relevant advice Our systems people have said 'it will be transparent to the user' - OTOH, I have always been wary of transparency and would appreciate any helpful comments.
