I have an IBM RS6000 running AIX 4.3.3.0.
On this system I have an Informix Database. The software issues are :-

Informix Standard Engine 7:13 UC2 and
Informix SQL 6:03 UC1

The system performance is poorer than I would expect for this hardware.

Are there any known issues running this software on AIX 4.3.3?

I would be very grateful for any help on this subject.

The versions of the software you are using are archaic and not
Y2K-compliant. You need to upgrade to a more recent (supported)
version. Those versions have not been supported for more than 4 years.

Going into performance analysis will be non-trivial. What's the app
doing? What size is the database? Why do you expect the performance
to be better than it is? How many concurrent users? How much
hardware? Etc...

Hi,

If can I due to continue the message from above, I will ask you:
Which is the model of RS6000 ? F50 ? J30 ? J40 ? Lxx ?

Have you applied APARs of Maintenance Level of AIX ? Which one ?
Have you a support contract ?
What languages are the programs ?
Is very easy to upgrade your informix ....

Best ...
