Upgrading to IDS v11.50.xC5 in Silent Mode (Windows)

See “Using a Response File for Silent Installation” on

 

page 2-6.

You can upgrade from IDS v11.50.xC4 or earlier to IDS

 

v11.50.xC5 in silent mode. You will need to record a

 

response file for IDS v11.50.xC5. You cannot use a

 

response file that was recorded when IDS v11.50.xC4 or

 

earlier versions were installed.

Upgrade IBM Informix Dynamic Server by Overwriting

“Upgrade of IDS by Overwriting an Existing Installation”

the Existing Installation

on page 2-12

When you are upgrading IDS from one fix pack level to

 

another in the same product version, you can install the

 

product in the running database server installation

 

directory. You also can overwrite an existing installation

 

for training or specialized technical needs. Take all

 

necessary backup precautions before upgrading with this

 

method. It is recommended that most users follow the

 

IBM Informix Migration Guide for version-to-version

 

upgrades and migrations.

Multiple Copies of IBM Informix Dynamic Server on the

“Multiple Copies of IDS on One Computer” on page 1-2

Same Windows Computer

 

In version 11.10, you could not install and run multiple

 

copies of the same version of IDS on the same Windows

 

computer. Now you can do so by using the graphical

 

user interface or by supplying installation parameters in a

 

file to perform a silent, non-interactive installation.

 

If the installation application detects that the same

 

version of IDS is already installed, you can choose to

 

install a new copy in another directory or you can choose

 

to modify the existing installation.
