Upgrade IDS to V11.50.FC6
Tri Trinh, on IDS 10.00.FC6 on HP-UX, asked about known issues upgrading to 11.50.FC6. Peter Logan found only a dbload bug, worked around by copying dbload from FC5. Kernoal Stephens advised ample dbspace room, especially rootdbs, and CONVERSION_GUARD 0. Art Kagel said early xC6 fixpacks through W2 have serious bugs and recommended xC6W3 or later. Tri decided on 11.50.xC6W3.

Make sure you have plenty of room in your dbspaces for internal conversion of the upgrade. Specifically the rootdbs. Turn off conversion guard in onconfig for version 11.50 using CONVERSION_GUARD 0 If you want to use conversion guard check for the latest version of > 11.50.XC6W2 for defect. Check the release notes and migration guide. Scott Lashley had a great presentation on conversion guard at the 2010 IIUG conference last week. Maybe he will upload the latest slides so we can post them on the iiug website. Kernoal
There are a couple of serious bugs in the early fixpacks of xC6 through the W2 fixpack. The word is that you want to install 11.50.xC6W3 or later. The release notes, which are available on the IBM Informix library pages, have the known bugs fixed and not fixed at each fixpack listed. Art Art S.
