Hi,

Does any one use the following configuration and made it work ?
AIX 4.2.1 or AIX 4.3
Informix DS 7.31UC3
ADSM version 3.1.3

I am trying to upgrade from Informix DS 7.30 to 7.31. The upgrade goes ok,
but during the conversion/upgrade the sysutils database is rebuild which
means that I loose my storage manager information(bar_version) and the
information about all the previous backup's.

When I upgraded from Informix DS 7.2x to Informix 7.30 I had to make this
work around to make it work, but the work around don't work after the
upgrade.
1. cd to your API installation directory
   /usr/lpp/adsm/api/bin
2. extract the shared object file
   'ar -x libXApi.a'
   customer will see the file bsashr10.o
3. BAR_BSALIB_PATH=/usr/lpp/adsm/api/bin/bsashr10.o
     i informix onconfig-filen (Done by the DBA's)

The error I get is as follows:
with BAR_BSALIB_PATH = /usr/lpp/adsm/api/bin/bsashr10.o

When I get this error I usually look at the activity log within ADSM or look
at the dsierror.log on the client box(your informix server)

Hi Ivans

I have just tried onbar/adsm on AIX 4.3.2. It works ok after I had inserted
bsa_version='3.1.6' instead of bsa_version='3.1.3' so my problem is
Informix DS 7.31 and AIX 4.2.1.

Thanks for your help.
