RE: BPCS 405CD migration FROM AS400 CISC MODEL to AS400 RISC MODEL 520(i5)

Sigit,

I worked with a number of clients, who migrated from CICS to RISC in the
Past. There are a few programs that will not convert to RISC, primarily
System Security, license validation. You will not have source code for
those. On top of it your license key is for different machine. Your company
needs to review an agreement with SSA and talk to SSA rep to see what the
costs of upgrade might be. I strongly suggest not to try to obtain missing
programs from elsewhere unless your company has other sites running those
releases, otherwise the cost of lawsuits and penalty may end up being much
greater than the cost of OGS.
If your are using BIR for reporting, it absolutely will not work on RISC box
and you will need to find alternative.

Dear All,

We are now using BPCS ver 405CD in CISC AS400 model, and want to upgrade
AS400 machine to RISC AS400 model 520 (i5).
To move our system from old CISC AS400 machine to RISC AS400 machine, can I
backup all our BPCS library on old machine and then restore it to new
machine ? Or we must install BPCS 405CD for RISC sistem ?
If we don't have OGS maintenance, how about the licence expense ?

Thank You for your attention and information
Sigit
