Re: TESTING IDS 11.50

Sorry for the slow response - I've been a bit busy! Works with any Informix platform. The AGS programs are Java so you probably could get them working on most Unixes, but usually they are on Windows or Linux with a TCP connection to whichever other box has the database instance. No programs need to be installed or run on the database server, only sysmaster queries or scraped "onstat" command line output, so it's very light. See www.serverstudio.com for prices. If you were in UK, I can sell it to you a little cheaper. Anyone else just see Ireland beat France at Rugby?!
