Hi Doug,

Try this:

https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?parent=ibm%7EInformation%20Management&product=ibm/Information+Management/Informix&release=3.1.0&platform=All&function=all

In "IBM Support: Fix Central":

- Product selector: Informix Server

- Installed Version: 3.1.0

- Platform: All

Thanks, Boycho. My colleague also found it at Fix Central meanwhile. I could have sworn it wasn't there earlier, but maybe I was using it wrong! We found the easiest way is to specify 3.1.0 as the "Installed server version" which is probably what you did.

I have since tried that with IDS 14.10.FC12 and get the same problem. If InformixHQ 3 doesn't work with IDS 14, then there is no solution to the CVE (or access to new features) unless you are on 15.

Will raise with IBM unless someone responds here today.

Hi

there is an issue with "HQ not able to connect to newer version 14.10.x of the server".

Issue is worked at and a new server version with a fix will be released (hopefully) soon.

And InformixHQ 2.4.0 seems to be the last version that works properly with IDS 12.10.FC13 and 14.10.FC4W1.

The problem is with HQ 3.0 and 3.1 and anything newer or equal to 14.10.FC12W1.
It will be fixed in 14.10.FC12W5 which is the next release which will be available on IBM FixCentral. 

When there is a problem with 12.10., then very likely it is something different and it would be good to get a support case. 

Hi Hedwig, Thanks for the info.

We have opened a case with IBM. We are in the process of upgrading a number of Informix instances to 14.10.FC12 and this may delay our schedule. When do you think W5 will be available.?

The problem is with HQ 3.0 and 3.1 and anything newer or equal to 14.10.FC12W1.
It will be fixed in 14.10.FC12W5 which is the next release which will be available on IBM FixCentral. 

When there is a problem with 12.10., then very likely it is something different and it would be good to get a support case.
