I want to do an imported restore to a system that has had ISM on it in
the past.  Even when I do ism_startup -init I find that all devices,
policies etc are still available.  I am wondering how much of the
$INFORMIXDIR/ism directory I need to wipe to get rid of that

HPUX machines, Informix 9.4
We have a primary database server,   srvA, and a server we want to use
HDR to back the database up to, srvB.

 We are using Informix 9.3 and SP needs to get data from other application through MQ Series - Synchronous mode of transfer .
 Please let me know how do we achieve this .

Has anyone done an imported restore using onbar and ISM?
Apparently you can
a) use onbar/Ism on one host to backup to disk
b) restore onto another host (possibly without copying everything over)

Even though I haven't see OL5.x after 1994, my memories of this
product has nothing but great. Superb speed, decent features.
Good for workgroup type computing. Surely even now this must be
better than the likes of MySQL.

Hi! I'm new in this, in my work, we are migrating to Informix from
Oracle and I have to migrate some chunks of code and I have a problem
when I gotta translate the function "Extract" from Oracle to something

first occurrence of a value within a string?
For example, something that would return '3' if searching for 'C' in
