Any HDR restrictions on Informix Innovator C?
A user hitting the connection limit of Informix Developer Edition asked whether Innovator-C allows HDR. Art Kagel answered that Innovator-C supports no secondaries at all (HDR, RSS, SDS) or ER nodes, pointing to the IIUG edition-comparison chart. Another poster noted that older Innovator-C releases (11.50/11.70, e.g. 11.70.FC4IE) did run HDR and that the old docs allowed a 2-node cluster, but Kagel clarified that from 12.10 Innovator-C no longer permits secondary servers, so doing so would be out of licence. The question was answered, though no alternative product for the connection limit was agreed.

Version 11.70.FC4IE (free innovator version) work OK with HDR, and
limitations is 2GB RAM, 4 x CPU VP and unlimited storage.
Unfortunately, you can't download this version from IBM anymore :(
But you can try with version 11.70UC8IE wich is available to download,
but has limitation to 1 x CPU VP, 2GB RAM and unlimited storage.
I never try HDR with free 12.10 version ...maybe its works to ... :) ?
Here is a proof:
IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 11.70.FC4IE -- On-Line (Prim) -- Up
19:57:17 -- 1252248 Kbytes
IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 11.70.FC4IE -- Read-Only (Sec) -- Up
123 days 09:01:07 -- 1140560 Kbytes

Ivan:
HDR may work with Innovator-C, but one would be out-of-license if one were
to set up secondaries. I suppose that if you only use the secondary for
failover, which is normally no charge anyway, you could make a case that it
is OK, but IBM might take umbrage.

OK, I only use secondary for failover.

For v12.10 Innovator-C no longer permits any secondary server nodes. Yes,
it did for 11.50 & 11.70, but no longer. At least not for now.
