Re: Informix on Digital

I must say that my experience has been less than pleasant with 7.22 on Digital UNIX 3.2 running Peoplesoft HR and Financials. 1. DO NOT assign 2 cpu vps to an instance, this will cause the instance to crash whenever an oncheck is run. 2. DO NOT use no-rewind tape devices, Informix told us that this is what caused a problem we had with an archive. 3. DO NOT comment out tapedevices and leave them in the onconfig file. This also causes archive/restore problems, per Informix. 4. Not related to Informix but I find Digital UNIX to be a PITA, due largely to OSF specs...you cant give away files for example, other problems with permissions not behaving the same way as in System V 5. Also the Peoplesoft code is some of the worst stuff I've seen, multiple subselects in queries and it is WAY over indexed. 6. DEC seems to be among the last hardware platforms to get new upgrades and releases. HP and Sun are usually way before DEC. I would reccommend HP or Sun over DEC.
