In Response To: AW: Ifx 32 or 64 bit (Andreas.KUTSCHE@spar.at)

Hi,

indeed I'm sorry, I misread the question.
On AIX5.3 64-bit OS should run IDS (64-bit) 10.00.FC4
Running 32-bit application on 64-bit IDS, see below=20

Hi,=20

here is Andreas Kutsche: I think the question a few months ago=20
was slightly different: Which version (32bit/64bit) of informix=20
should be used?=20

This time the question is if a 32bit Informix can run on a 64bit=20
operating system?=20
I don't know AIX, but on HPUX (PA-Risc) there are no problems=20
running an 32bit Informix Instance on a 64bit HP-UX.=20
But you should consider migrating to 64bit if you want to=20
use more resources.=20
