Informix upgradtion failed from 11.50 to 11.70
Prajakta reported an upgrade from 11.50 to 11.70 halting because logical logs were not backed up, though they had been; it worked after freeing cache memory and restarting with oninit -v. Marcus suggested activity after the last log backup and advised quiescent mode and backing up all logs including the current one. Art Kagel said 32-bit to 64-bit in-place upgrade is no problem.

Following error is seen when Informix was upgraded from 11.50 UC1E to 11.70
FC4XYGE. Informix was installed properly. Prior to that logical log backups
and ontape -s backups were taken properly.
Conversion halted because logs are not backed up.
To continue conversion it is necessary to restart prior
server and backup logical logs.
But still this problem was found. Then only cache memory was freed and
database server started again using oninit -v. This time conversion completed
successfully.
What could be the reason behind this ?
Hi,
you might have had additional activity after log backup in the old instance.
Activate the old binaries, startup server in quiescent mode
and backup all logs. (ontape -a or onbar equivalent). Also backup current log !
Then try again conversion with 11.70.
Hope this helps.
Marcus

There is no problem upgrading from a 32bit release to a 64bit release in-place. Art Art S.
