Any ADSM probs after Informix upgrades?

We run Informix 7.30.uc7a on HP-UX 11.00 and use onbar with HP's Omniback II storage manager and I've been asked to investigate changing to using ADSM I've searched the newsgroup archive and there don't seem to be any major problems. All I can find is: 1) the need to delete unwanted log backups from ADSM, and 2) ocassional "unspecified XBSA error 96"s but our Unix support group comment that they "have run into major difficulties with delays between Oracle releasing a version of their DBMS and IBM releasing the corresponding version of their ADSM Connect Agent". What has been the experience of other Informix sites using ADSM? Has anyone ever had backup problems after an Informix upgrade because the new Informix software was not compatible with the existing ADSM software?

I've not seen any problems using various levels of 7.3x with ADSM. Again, here's another advantage of Informix over Big O -- the OnBar utility conforms to the XBSA standard, as does ADSM. So, as long as the standard remains, neither system should really CARE what version of database or ADSM API is being used. In other words, your tech people are reeling in a HUGE red herring.
