    Btw. is it "ok" to use an older CSDK for a newer ID Version? Of course, its not recommended, but pratical it should be safe to use e.g. FC4W1 with IDS FC7 or?

     Keep in mind that Informix's backward compatibility is legendary. There certainly is no problem using an earlier CSDK to compile code to access a later release of the engine (ie IDS) nor a later CSDK with an earlier engine.

    The only gotcha I can think of is if the front end code is usiing datablade static libraries such TimeSeries and tsfeapi.a then you might have an issue. All my TS work is UDR based in the engine and uses TS tsbeapi.a and it is tightly coupled to the engine, so the UDR normally get recompiled with engine upgrades.

    As I don't write client based C code that uses tsfeapi.c ..... like I said the only gotcha that springs to mind.

    What was the error ? Did you install CSDK in engine INFORMIXDIR ?

    I marked the error in yellow - yes, i installed it in the /opt/informix like regular.
    Is this  csdk.4.50.FC4W1 incomplete?

    Presently CSDK 4.50.FC6 and 4.50.FC7 only have been moved to the following link, which is the Informix Developer Edition Link:
     
     
    The CSDK downloads page http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/search.jsp?rs=ifxdl   is presently not working. Investigating ......

    V14.10.FC7 has MIRROR permanently ON and you can't turn it off (it's needed for some new internal features). The startup failed because you have something configure in MIRRORPATH in the ONCONFIG file and that file doesn't exist. Just blannk out MIRRORPATH and try again, it should start up just fine.

    Thanks Art, but it does not work - looks like its missing GLS files? But everything is installed.


    Maybe because i installed the CSDK in the same dir as IDS ?

    First, nothing to do with anything, you have a typo in the ONCONFIG AUTO_RERPARE instread of AUTO_REPREPARE.

    OK, yeah, it does look like something is not right with the GLS support module. Is there anything more informative in the online log? If not, time to call tech support.

    Older CSDK is compatible but installing IDS C7 and then CSDK C4 over can overwrite some of the libraries. Try clean IDS install (+upgrade) and install older CSDK in separate directory

    Thanks - that was a good idea.

    But i did the other way around.. i first installed the CSDK C4 and then the IDS - that did the trick.

    I was going to make a similar suggestion. Glad you got it sorted. However, any particular reason you're not also upgrading the SDK to FC7?

    Marc:

    The CSDK v4.50.FC7 is now available on the CSDK download site. Since CSDK is a no-charge product, you can safely download it from there and install it with no license issues. You don't have to wait for it to make its way to PPA. Paid support for CSDK is available, but not required, and your existing support for FC6 will carry forward if you have it.

    They're not bundling it with the engine any more? Last time I downloaded it standalone, I had to do so through the demos page and answer the stupid questions. I think @Art Kagel may know where there's a direct download link?

    Nope, finally on the CSDK demos pages. The FC6 & FC7 were initially loaded onto the engine's demo pages by mistake. Fixed as of today.

    Were you able to do the download? If not, send the platform and version you want and I will figure out where to put them so that you can download them.
     
    If you are not able to download it, please send screen shots of the error message you are receiving as previously indicated. You should not be getting those as the free downloads sites are not limited to any country.
