    Hi David,

    Thanks for the links but I do not see the Informix 15.0.0.2 packages for ARM in the list 

    https://www.ibm.com/resources/mrs/assets/packageList?source=ifxids&lang=en_US

    I am using the search filter "15.0.0.2" ...

    Hello,

    Will there be IBM packages soon for Linux ARM?

    I could find HCL branded packages.

    Just installed

    hcl.csdk.15.0.0.2.Linux.64.aarch64.tar

    On two Linux ARM machines:

    $ uname -a
    Linux ... 5.14.0-284.30.1.el9_2.aarch64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Aug 25 10:57:12 EDT 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux


    $ uname -a
    Linux ... 6.1.31-v8.1.el8.altarch #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 10 22:16:25 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

    But I get this error:

    $ dbaccess - -
    Unknown error message 36206.

    I see no errors in the install logs.

    Env settings should be fine:

    $ ls -l $INFORMIXDIR

    Any idea?

    Thanks!

    Hi Seb,

    it's a known problem and being worked on.

    Take it as a sign of the product really being worked on, also in terms of code clean-up, only testing apparently having some (glaring) gaps still... (yes, it is a bit embarrassing).

    Let's hope for a new release soon!

    BR,
     Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

    Thanks a lot for being honest, saves time.

    If you want us to test packages before you release, we would be pleased to help.

    Already tested 15.0.0.2 server and CSDK on my Linux Debian 12, no issue found in our QA tests.

    Will test Windows ASAP.

    Seb
