Not so conservative that I'd still > be on HP-UX 10.20 now though ... :-) This is obviously good advice, it's the same advice I gave my boss. So what we did was to upgrade the engine to the latest version available on 10.20 first (9.21) from 7.3. Of course we couldn't do the OS upgrade first because you can't get the 7 version of the engine any more. The 9.21 version of the engine has given us nothing but problems, so we really don't want to stick with it after the OS upgrade. So, anyway, that's what has brought us to this point, and I appreciate the replies thus far.

Not sure who told you 7.3 was not available anymore. Check out the IBM Product Lifecycle for Informix www.ibm.com/software/data/informix/support/plc/ Products are available to download from the PA site until the EOM (End of Marketing) date and are supported for a further 12 months. IDS 7.31 is not EOM till April '05 so is available until then. However, IDS 9.21 has been unavailable from Dec '03 and will not be supported as of the end of June this year. sblack@elsouth.com (Scott Black) wrote in message news:<c5c03a45.0405200509.4e876285@posting.google.com>... > > > > If it were me I would not revert the database server and OS in one fell > > swoop.
