Hi all, I just received the media to migrate IDS 7.31.UD6X5 on RS/6000 - F50 with AIX 4.3.3 and P630 with AIX 5.2 to IDS 9.40 (32 bits). I'd like to hear from you all - who have already done this migration - news about the experience of this step. I hope know about "what to do" .... "what NOT to do", and if somebody know about some issues about "steps" and "what check" before. I don't have enough time to do dbexports and dbimports to migrate data, I have to install new version of 9.40 and run it to recognize the old data. If something doesn't work, I have to restore the whoole instance (cold restore) ? All helps and massege are previously thanks. Best regards. R. Ferronato

Didn't think F50/Aix4.3.3 and 9.40 was a supported solution.
