Upgrading from AIX 4.2 to AIX 4.3

Question:
We have plans to upgrade our AIX operating system to version 4.3. We are using Informix 7.31. Do we need any new Informix components (compilers etc.)?

Answer:
You probably need to upgrade the Informix package. I’m not an AIX user, so I don’t know the specifics of your upgrade, but as a general rule, it’s a good idea to check with Informix and see what versions are available.

Is the system under a support contract? If so, Informix will probably cut you a deal on an upgrade of the OS/database. Check with your local sales office.
