    Hello ABeMie,
    MTK is no longer provided by IBM. MTK has been replaced by IDMT and Database Conversion Workbench, but Informix is not supported. In fact, there are a number of alternative migration tools, such as Linked Server, IBM CDC, Oracle Gateway, Talend, Pentaho.
    If you need version 2.0.5.1 that I have, please leave your email address.

    Too bad they don't support it anymore because it does cool things. No comments beyond that because they would be bitter comments :-)

    Hi

     

     

    It works for me, at least launching

     

    I run on Win 10, java build 1.8.0_241-b07

     

    Would be cool it R&D could resume back on this product, I don't care about the 10452 versions of DB2 presented in the product, but I do care about checking deep how it works on  14.10 for instance.

     

    This product has been hidden to public visibility and it should not, unless someone wants to promote migrations from Informix to NON IBM DBMS ?

     

    R&D Tools team could take a look at it...

    @ABeMie,
    Replicating the data from the other vendors to Informix might be the way to go. I can attest to CDC ​in combination with a 3rd party SW called SQDR from StarQuest. We are replicating Informix, Oracle and SQL Server data to an Aurora database in AWS and it works pretty good, from synchronizing an empty target database to keeping it up to date close to online.
    As always, YMMV.
