The database interfaces in the Database Profiles dialog and Runtime Packager have been optimized from the following aspects:
-
The database interface names have been simplified and standardized to improve clarity.
-
The most recent database interfaces will be shown at the first level, for easy selection. Older database interfaces will be shown under the "Obsolete Interfaces" node.
-
The SQLCA.DBMS value of "IN10 Informix v10.x|v12.x|v14.x" has been changed to "INF Informix". Although the old value "IN10 Informix v10.x|v12.x|v14.x" is still supported, it is recommended to use the new value "INF Informix" instead of the old value.
-
The old name conventions in the database profiles or DBMS exported from earlier versions will still be supported and compatible with Version 2025.
