Y2K Issues Needing Resolved
Please do not respond by viewing the informix web site ... I have done this and I cannot find the information I need ;--) Here is the issues: We currently run a variety of different IDS versions including 7.22UC1 for HP10.20 7.24.FC5 for Alpha (not sure of version .. I think the latest) 7.30.UC5 on Linux 5.2 (I will be upgraded because of the known NETTYPE issue) 7.23UC1 on an Alpha (again not sure of version) but in any case ... Informix has documented that the 7.2x versions of informix are being supported beyond the year 2000 but does that mean I have the right versions for all the known defects that are contained in each release that we currently run ? I just can't keep up ;--) I have been seeing in all the tech notes that certains versions need to be upgraded. Can someone please provide me with what I should be telling our clients to upgrade to ... or even if they need to upgrade? TIA, Lloyd AJ Wilson
Lloyd, probably the best thing for you to do is contact Informix Customer Support. We have a shop like yours where we run different versions of Informix on different hardware and software platforms. When I was upgrading all of our Informix instances to y2k compliance, I just called them and told them what I have running and on what and they pretty much did the rest. Keep in mind when upgrading IDS to not forget about any development tools you might have installed as well (4GL, ESQL/C, ISQL, etc.). Best of luck.

Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead. No, wait, not me, you.
