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?
