Highlights: Jerry Keesee, Director, IBM Informix, invites you to Information on Demand 2013 Welcome to the International Informix Users Group (IIUG) Insider! Designed for IIUG members and Informix user group leaders, this publication contains timely and relevant information for the IBM Informix community. Contents:
The new Informix 12.1 xC2 release is packed with new great features. The most exciting is the support of JSON and BSON data types. Informix now successfully integrates unstructured and structured data together in a single database. In November the IIUG board of directors will attend the IBM Information On Demand conference in Las Vegas. We and all the Informix fans that will join us can be proud of the fact that Informix is still the best database in the market. The binoculars in "Discover the new face of Informix" should now be used to spot the other databases that were left far behind. Gary Ben-Israel

Relaxation is as close as the luxurious spa and the unique stainless steel pool. Registration The 2014 IIUG conference and hotel registration will be available sometime in October 2013. Please note this hotel is a very nice hotel having won numerous awards and also a smaller hotel than we have used in the past with just under 300 total hotel rooms available so we STRONGLY recommend you to register for the conference early and book your hotel room as we will NOT have an overflow hotel available and other area hotels are about $50+ more per night plus you could incur parking and/or taxi costs.

How to restore critical administrative files with onbar utility? It is already known to us that onbar backs up some critical administrative files during storage space backup. These critical files are as follows:
There may be a situation when you need to restore one of these files, for example: replace disks, restore to a second computer system (imported restore) etc. However, previously there was no easy way to restore these files from onbar backup. You need to depend on the Informix Technical Support to perform this operation. Starting with Inofrmix vesion 12.10.xC2, you can restore the critical files that you backed up with onbar utility. Onbar cold restore has an option now to restore these files or you can only restore these file without perform the storate space restore. Use 'onbar -r -cf yes' to restore critical file during cold restore. Alternatively, you can use 'onbar -r -cf only' to extract critical files while Informix server is offline. - Sanjit Chakraborty

There is now an Informix group on LinkedIn. The group is called "Informix Supporter", so anyone loving Informix can join, from current IBM employees, former Informix employees, to users. It will also be a good occasion to get in touch with others or long-time-no-seen friends. If you fancy showing the Informix logo on your profile, join.
