RE: 7.30. To be or not to be ?
Patricia, we are using Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.UC3 on HP-UX 10.20 on a HP9000 model D So far we have had no problem. We had to migrate from 7.30 for a minor problem with our application. We were migrating from 7.12 but we never had the kind of problems you are reporting. I would suggest that you verify the patches in your HP-UX Then also verify the kernel parameters yours > N.

Daniel, we are using Informix Dynamic Server Version 7.31.UC3 on HP-UX 10.20 on HP9000 model D (D330) and we have a big problem with performances. We migrate an ERP application from Informix SE 5.0 on HP-UX 10.20 on a HP workstation (712); in the current machine we have same users, more memory (256 vs 128), a faster CPU and more disk and swap space on disk, but we have worse prerformances, especially for a MRP procedure. J think that the problem is in the OS or in the machine, because we have, in another site, the same application on the old 712 workstation with Informix IDS 7.31 and, in that case, good performances. J have tried many different configurations in Informix and Kernel parameters and J have applied all of HP known pathches, without results. So, could you help me some information about your current machine and about its configuration? Could you send the output of kernel parameters configuration? Thank you in advance. Emidio Serafini. P.S. J'm going to send this message to the newsgroup, but J think it isn't interesting because too particular.
