If you have Dynamic Server Version 9.40, 9.30, 9.2x, 7.3x, or 7.24, you can migrate directly to Dynamic Server Version 10.0, the current database server.

You can also migrate to the current database server from the following database servers after you migrate to an intermediary database server:

IBM Informix Universal Server, Version 9.14 (Universal Server 9.14)
IBM Informix OnLine Dynamic Server, Version 7.22 through Version 7.23 (OnLine Dynamic Server 7.22 through 7.23)

For information on migration paths, see Database Server Migration Paths.
