I suggest you start to plan for an upgrade now, as support for V5R3

it is one of those "management wants to get rid of the system, but
cant code/find a replacement" kind of things.

Management by Airline Magazine

no. Mgmt knows it went wrong by giving the MIS dept too much autonomy.
it is a legacy system, written by a staff of pgmrs as many as 30, for
20 years, that is 5x more complex than it has to be because everyone
had a specialty and an elevated idea of their importance. The i has
some good tools in journaling and triggers to get a handle on
unreadable legacy code. Would be very useful for the i to have more
tools for application refactoring - like tools to tell the programmer
what code actually runs in a program.

So, what would you do if e.G. a system processor failed now?

dunno. Have not seen an i crash since the S/38 days.

System Management by Hope

we have good backups. lot of journaling. what else can be done to
prepare for a system crash?
