Re: Informix/Fourgen Upgrade

Rowid's are not going to be an issue as long as you are sticking with SE. I personally don't use them, but I don't believe the Fourgen apps will break. I would suggest re-compiling the apps; failure to do so will require the use of Informix's relay module (more on this below). You are correct that you will need updated UCL's. I don't know whether Endura (they changed their name in October, I believe) will provide them to you without a support agreement. OTOH, I am also not sure that they offer support anymore, so they may just give them to you. I dropped our support about 18 months ago because their focus had changed so much. BTW, if you are going to use any of the Fourgen tools, you will want to use the relay module. The tools are compiled 4.x products, so they will have to use the relay module to talk with the 7.x database. It's not a big deal; just read the Informix documentation.
