I'm very familiar with the setup and such of Informix, including onconfig. I don't really anticipate many issues with the SE to IDS 10 migration itself but am more concerned about the application migration. We will be setting up a new, clean, pristine machine from scratch and migrating their data and applications to it so we'll have plenty of opportunity to test, rebuild, etc. without impacting their current environment. They are currently on an old AIX box but we'll probably be moving them to a Linux server (yet another variable).

Would be used the same machine? Or there are newer hardware (Memory/Disks-San/MultiCPUs/OS,etc) ? You have to test your 4gl code, it won't be hurt by the upgrade but pay special atention on the way that null/empty strings are handled. J. sending to informix-list
