My Notifications

With My Notifications, you can subscribe to Support updates for any IBM product. (My Notifications replaces My Support, which is a similar tool that you might have used in the past.) With My Notifications, you can specify that you want to receive daily or weekly email announcements. You can specify what type of information you want to receive (such as publications, hints and tips, product flashes (also known as alerts), downloads, and drivers). My Notifications enables you to customize and categorize the products about which you want to be informed and the delivery methods that best suit your needs.

Subscribe to the Informix Support RSS feeds by going to the Informix Support Portal and clicking Support RSS feeds in the Notifications area. Select the Informix feeds that you want, for example, Informix Product Family or Informix Servers.
