Paths for migration to the new version

Direct migration to Informix® 14.10 is supported for specific earlier versions of the database server.

Important: As new versions of products are released, some earlier versions of the products are no longer supported.

Migration paths

If you are on Version 12.10,11.70, 11.50, 11.10, or 10.00, you can migrate directly to Version 14.10 on the same operating system.

If you are on earlier versions of the database server, consider these options:

Install Version 14.10 in a new location, and then use the dbexport and dbimport utilities or distributed SQL to move your data into the new database server.

If necessary, you can revert to the version of the database server from which you upgraded. You cannot revert to any other version of the database server.
