We are about to upgrade our main production server on HP-UX 11i (B11.11) to 9.40.FC3. 7.32.FC2 version of the tools. We are also upgrading the OS from 10.20, so this will be a clean install, loading data from flat files. What I want to ask is, how do you guys find the 9.40 version of the engine? Is it stable; are there any important known bugs I should be aware of? Anything to be aware of when I set up the engine, or load the data? Also is anyone running on HP-UX that has any OS specific input? Thank you in advance for any replies.

Have a look at http://www.ardenta.com/informix_dynamic_server.htm which gives details of a couple of bugs we found in 9.40 testing still prevalent in 9.40 FC3, particulalrly the one that stops you reverting to an old version. If it were me I would not revert the database server and OS in one fell swoop. But then I'm quite conservative. Not so conservative that I'd still be on HP-UX 10.20 now though ... :-)

Nothing specific Scott, but 9.40.FC4 is now available. I would always recommend going to the most recent release. sblack@elsouth.com (Scott Black) wrote in message news:<c5c03a45.0405190953.74fa2f44@posting.google.com>... > We are about to upgrade our main production server on HP-UX 11i > (B11.11) to 9.40.FC3. 7.32.FC2 version of the tools. > > We are also upgrading the OS from 10.20, so this will be a clean > install, loading data from flat files. > > What I want to ask is, how do you guys find the 9.40 version of the > engine?
