I'd say you Rob.

That's the way I (used to) do it.

IIRC, that's what IBM recommends.

Heck with those tape drives of yours, doesn't the full system save take
just seconds anyway? <grin>

Subject: Wisdom of just a SAVSYS after an upgrade

Skipping a lot of details but our basic steps to doing a
release upgrade
is:
Save entire system
apply ptfs perm, IPL
do the upgrade
Do a full system save.

The boss is wondering if we could just do a SAVSYS at the end. My
argument is that this isn't a S/36, or even an old AS/400.
That a release
upgrade puts stuff into all sorts of libraries, directories,
etc that a
SAVSYS just doesn't begin to cover. Including, but not
limited to data
conversions in QUSRSYS. Then, there's the little things like object
conversions, etc that sometimes happen with release upgrades.

If the goal is to be able to recover, do the full system
save. Otherwise
you're stuck with the save PRIOR to the OS upgrade.

So who passes the whizz quiz: the boss or I?
