Re: tbload

All the servers have the same AIX 3.2.5, same Online 5.05, but A & B hardware are different while A & C are the same (IBM RS/6000 390), B is IBM RS/6000 C10. But I wonder if the OS are the same on both servers, would the hardware type still matters a lot? I mean all are IBM RS/6000. -----Original Message----- From: David Kosenko <davek@summitdata.com> To: informix-list@iiug.org <informix-list@iiug.org> Date: Friday, June 26, 1998 10:36 ' Subject: Re: tbload >"Ants" <insight@shabakah.com> offerred: >+Sorry if I wasn't clear. >+ >+I want to transfer data from server A to B.
