Re: Transferring XA to a new machine

Eric,

When I moved from V4R4 on old Box to V5R3 on new box, I did reinstall 
MAPICS on the new box then copied the Library over the top of the newly 
created Librarys.  I do not know about the other way..  You could 
temporally install the new O/S to the old box and do an entire system 
backup and restore.  That was one option that I was looking at...  What 
does IBM say?

Transferring XA to a new machine









To all,
I have a few customers that are planning to upgrade to a new i-Series.  I 
was told by MAPICS/Infor that to move XA to a new machine, I would have to 
go through the installation process to rebuild AMALIB on the new machine 
(and put programs in QGPL, etc).  The problem is that one customer is at 
XA/R3  :(!!  They are not sure if they can find the original tapes, and 
even if they did, the new machine may not be able to read those tapes.

Shouldn't I be able to do a SAVE ALL on the one machine (V4R2) and a 
restore to the new machine (V5R3) and then install the new license keys?

Anyone done this?

TIA,
Eric A. Wolf
