ah, so it's more like freezing. Thanks.

we have 11.6 and 12.3. 11.6 because we (unfortunately) have to use Qlik (formerly Attunity). And no, that again wasn't my decision. Databases which are involved in Qlik replication can't be updated (yet) according to our Qlik specialist. I had a big argument with him when I updated even from 11.5 to 11.6. This means I can't even update to 11.8.

Cheers,
Paul
