Desperate, sudden cessation of unsupported database

Posted By: Zanne Fagerstrom
Date: Wednesday, 25 February 2004, at 8:06 p.m.






Hi informix community


We have a data base that has stopped with the errors below, the only thing
that has changed is a new CPU has been added bringing the total to 13 .
The first solution proposed has been to quickly migrate to another brand
of database. So I'd hate to see an Informix database go.

Any help would by highly appreciated

Cheers
