RE: Reason not to go to V6R1

Any version should work. :) But that is a good point. Then again, I do
only "support" the latest version. And I try to make upgrading my software
as painless and seamless as possible.

Now the hardest part is getting customers to go to the FAQ page. :) Maybe
I'll stick something on every page with this particular question linking to
the FAQ.

I'm sure in months to come this will easily be a FAQ... so I guess you
could call this a "pre-emptive FAQ".. lol!

Good man! More vendors should do that. The only improvement might be
what service level of your software you need to be at.

I used some information from the mentioned redbook to find out
what can be
done about recalcitrant vendors. Just today I too heard the line about
renewed efforts to get to the vendors, starting right before the
holidays.

If you are a software vendor, lurking on this thread, check out Q10 and
Q11 at
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/os/i5os/v6r1preview/conversion.html

I think that's where I started to find out what to do about recalcitrant
vendors.

Re: Reason not to go to V6R1







Don,

I think that the spool thing got thrown in with the rest of the stuff.
The
only thing that matters (other than time, which is cheap now-a-days) is
the
"creation data" part of what used to be called "observability". I'm
through that on one partition, but there are lots of vendors that have
issues, and given their (not-so) fast response to inquiries, I would say
that this release may be in trouble.

A few facts:
o The release is not yet G.A.ed.
o IBM says that they have renewed the efforts to get to vendors,
although I can see no tangible evidence of this.

We will see what happens as G.A. gets closer. I don't think that IBM
has
announced that date yet, but I get conflicting information from many
people.

Al,

this is basically a Fast/400 buster wrapped up with a bunch of other
stuff... funny damn thing is that anyone still using Fast/400 most
likely
isnt' going to be leaving that platform for a while...

I still can't get anyone to explain why SPOOL is undergoing conversion
in
the same step/process as the MI level is undergoing conversion...

Don in DC


When we did CISC-to-RISC, IBM was in our publically faces about the
requirements for two years before. (I knew sometime before.) With
V6R1,
they screwed up and kept it a state secret. Shame on IBM, cause this
is
what happens.
