Hi Steve,

Thanks very much for the information.
Much appreciated.

I had a feeling it was along the lines of your comments.

I actually had to do the same thing, this is what steps I took

Did a complete system save on the 4.5 systems (21)

on the 800 series, scratch loaded v5r2 to the system. T o do this I IPL
to io base, loaded the lic manually, then installed the OS, then
stopped. This will give you a 5.2 lic and a back leveled qgpl and
qusrsys

Then I place the tape in the drive and did a 21 restore

once the restore was done I ipl'd back to the io base cd in normal mode
and did an auto install of 5.2.

Once it came back from the OS load and lic program load, I was all set

Steve

Subject: Migration from V4R5 to V5R2 questions
Hi all

I am planning on migrating from V4R5 (on a 170) to V5R2 (on an 810) and,
after checking our ERP system during a testing on the new machine I've
noticed that some programs fail to access data using SQL. We use BPCS as
our ERP system and I have noticed a few forums that suggest we might
have to convert libraries, or files, as part of the migration.

Does anyone have a migration plan (for V4R5 to V5R2) that they have used
in the past?
Or can anyone point me in the right direction (websites, etc) where I
can get more information on the steps involved with this migration?

Many thanks,
Paul
