Hi all. I am running IDS 9.21 on an AIX machine and want to test an upgrade to IDS 9.4. Is there a way I can go back and forth easily between the two versions? I dont have two machines and I cant just bite the bullet and upgrade without some testing...whats the easiset way to do this?
Someone told me I could make a copy of my Informix directory say to Informix_a and then do my upgrade to the original Informix directory. Then test and to revert back just rename the upgraded version of the Informix directory to say Informix_b and rename Informix_a back to informix!
It cant be that easy can it? If thats way offbase, I would be happy to here any and all strategies (AIX/Unix specific) except the ones that advise me to get a second system for testing!
