RE: Disappearing exit points

I haven't had this issue, and I've upgraded a few.  But if IBM has a 
document on it, it's obviously happened to more than one.  Sometimes, it's 
just the history of your company.  For example, in the olden days of 
OS/400 when you did an upgrade there was a possibility that you would lose 
all your job queue entries associated with QBATCH.  So we got into the 
habit of copying the SBSD into a backup library and copying it back after 
the upgrade.  Never a problem.  Then I find out it's supposed to 
automatically do this.  We test this in the IBM lab and it doesn't work. 
Turns out that if you do a
DSPOBJD OBJ(QSYS/QBATCH) OBJTYPE(*SBSD) DETAIL(*SERVICE)
and find that the System level is REALLY old, (I think it was pre V2R3), 
then it cannot automatically upgrade it.  So we wrote a program to rebuild 
the subsystem description with the help of several API's.  Redid it, and 
it then automatically converted it.  (We have HUNDREDS of job queue 
entries.)

Sorry to hear about this.  Now I know when I upgrade to V5R3 next month to
look out for this type of problem.  Please let us know how you make out 
with
the escalation.
