Re: ON-LINe 5.0 -> 6.0

} } I am the part-time DBA of two ON-LINE systems on a NCR3450. One is relatively } complex(JAM and C and ace reports) and one is relatively simple (ESQL). } } They are working just fine. } } A new system is being planned for this machine and the idea is to upgrade } to 6.0 for the sake of the new system. } } 1) Can ON-LINE 5.0 and 6.0 co-exist on the same machine? IMHO: Yes, they can. You just make sure that the INFORMIXDIR and TBCONFIG environment variables are set properly to point to the appropriate directories and tbconfig files. You have to set up different informix directories for each version. The dbspaces and either the chunks/raw devices must be kept separate for each engine and version. There must also be enuf shared memory and semaphores allocated for all the processes. } } 2) If they can't and the upgrade occurs, what type of troubles can we } expect, if any? } } Any suggestions, hints, prognostications or warnings would be appreciated! } Please e-mail and I will post the compiled information. } -- } Do unto others ... then split. } -- Mary Anne Stasium -- }
