RE: Upgrade

Thanks Joan and List,

After research and gathering data, here is my best estimate of what the answer
is
at this time:

Only logicals that are over MAPICS files that have changed  need to be
recompiled. You can
determine changed MAPICS files by downloading PTF SH13917. This is important to
us because
we have limited time for the cut over.
                         Thanks,

When we went from Rel 4 to Rel 6, I recompiled all custom logicals - better
to be safe than sorry...

Peter and List,

Thanks for the advise. I can see deleting and recreating the logicals over
MAPICS files that have changed with this release, but do you think it is
necessary with logicals over files that have not changed if I know there are
no conflicting names.

                    Thanks,

I recommend to delete your logicals and after the upgrade, recreate them
again. Changes in record formats and field attributes will not be collected
until then. Besides, unpleasant surprises may arise if there are logical
files with conflicting names.

Is better to react and fix your inhouse systems than take the risk to have a
whole weekend, or even more, in trying to resolve a potential issue like
that.

(This is IMHO)
Good luck with your upgrade!

PD.  We are going to PTF 4140 on May 4th (God's willing, praying, crossing
our fingers, etc.)
