Hi,
I'm just looking for a "feel better" about this planned upgrade.

I have a client who is running V3R2, jumping straight onto a V5 machine.

If I'm correct, there'll have to be an intermediate stopover at V4R5 before
restoring to V5.  Or, will V5 allow restoring V3 programs/data?  (this would
be just too good)  I'm at V4R5, so I don't know about V5...yet.

My plan is to load the program/data tapes onto a V4R5 machine, let it
convert to Risc during the install, then just save on V4R5 machine and
restore to the V5 machine.

I know, I know, just follow the yellow greek roadmap.  But, I would rather
recreate the configuration than do the multistep roadmap thing, so I'll just
follow this and I believe I'll be OK.  I'll have to recreate jobds, queues,
user profiles, etc...and that's OK.  And I'll guarantee that QGPL and
QUSRSYS won't be back-levelled when I'm done.

My BP is saying that IBM recommends Cisc-to-Risc (roadmap) from V3R2 to
V3R7, then move to V4R3, then to V5R1.

Your advice is appreciated....

TIA
