This presentation by Lester Knutsen is from the IBM User Group Day on May 19, at 1:30 pm EST.
There are several easy procedures to upgrade and migrate Informix. We will look at the easy way (in-place upgrades, dbexport, cdr migrate, backup/restore), but sometimes they may not work for you, and you need to create a custom process. We will go over a set of procedures and scripts using HPL, external tables, and parallel unloads/loads that I have used over the last few years to migrate from small systems up through terabyte-sized databases to VMs, new hardware, and the cloud.
Migrating and Upgrading to Informix 14 or the cloud. The easy and the hard way.
