Pearson? Uh oh. Who is the new vendor? There are lots of i shops running
CIMS.

I got to do this on a JDE system a couple of years ago, but the new 520 was
a different serial number. Fortunately, JDE was able to apply enough
pressure on Seagull to issue new keys.

It *could* be a model thing I guess, rather just a serial number issue.
I know next to nothing about JWalk but I thought it was serial number
dependent but not model. To make things more interesting this is a
customer running JWalk (for a product called CIMS) licensed through a
company called Pearson which has now sold the customer base to another
vendor. So Seagull says call Pearson and Pearson says call the new
vendor and the new vendor says "what?".

We are checking on the IFS folders and files. There were several HTTP
404 messages with folder paths "not found" in the log. We are running
them down to see if they exist or not. It *may* have been a problem
with the save and restore.

My primary query was trying to determine if there was anyone with the
experience of moving JWalk from one box to another where the serial
number was preserved. Doesn't look so.

Are you sure it isn't model and serial number dependent?

Subject: Upgrades and JWalk

Anyone use JWalk and have gone through a box upgrade where the serial
number was retained? I have a customer that no longer has support on
their JWalk installation but recently upgraded to a System i i5 520.
Even though they have the same serial number, JWalk fails to start.
Does anyone know if there is something "special" that has to be done
when a system using JWalk is upgraded?

Thanks
