In this guide, a short database server name followed by a version number refers only to that version, or set of versions, of the database server. A version number without an "x" refers to a single version of the database server; for example, Dynamic Server 9.21 refers only to IBM Informix Dynamic Server, Version 9.21. A version number with an "x" can refer to more than one version of the database server; for example, Dynamic Server 9.x refers to all Dynamic Server Versions 9.20, 9.21, 9.30, and 9.40.
The migration can be between operating systems. Each of the Informix database servers can run on one or more of the following operating systems:
