    oc project project-name
  2. Run the oc patch command to update the InformixService custom resource edition attribute: 
    oc patch informixservice informixservice-cr --type=merge -p '{"spec":{"edition":"edition_type"}}'

    Replace edition_type with the Informix edition you want to switch to based on the following table:

  3. Check the status of the Informix service (informixservice-cr):
