RE: Upgrading V5R2 to V5R3

Brian,

There was a recent redbook that discussed going to 5.3. Also, If you've got
the disk space, I would strongly urge you to go the image catalog route.
It's much faster, and you can start it up from home..... :-))

Great, thanks Charles.  We do have a VAR that provides support to our
AS/400, so I might let him work on the production machine.

You have much reading to do!  Start with the 'Read this First' and 'Memo
to
Users' documents for V5R3.  Read them carefully and they will provide
all
the details you're looking for.  You need to make the determination if
all
the specific gotchas for various changes and features will pertain to
your
specific applications and environment.  It's not difficult, but there
are
many specific tasks and things you need to check in to before hand.

If you're not intimately familiar with those 2 documents (they are
crucial
to performing any OS/400 upgrade IMO), then that might explain some of
your
v4r5 to v5r2 problems. ;)

Hi All,



As you may have seen in a previous message, our iSeries is currently
sitting at v5r2.  How difficult is it to upgrade to v5r3.  Is there
anything specific that needs to be done (next to an Option 21) to
perform an upgrade?  I'd be concerned about killing our production
machine (we had problems last time we went from v4r5 to v5r2), but I'm
wondering if that was because it was a major upgrade instead of a
minor(?) upgrade.



Thanks,



Brian.
