Scott,

The difficulty is upgrading to 6.1 due to program re-encapsulation.
That is where people are having problems with their programs not having
either creation data or observability, so they can't re-encapsulate their
programs. At this point, I would skip 6.1 and go to 7.1. Remember that
when skipping a release, everyone should read and understand the memo to
users for the release they are skipping.

Subject: Re: Upgrade to 6.1 or jump to 7.1 ?

I've been pondering an upgrade from v5r4 myself.
Does it make sense to go to 6.1 at this point, or should I go straight
to 7.1?

In my case, I'm not changing hardware at all, just updating the OS. I
know I'll have to run ANZOBJCVN and all that good stuff -- no question
about that.

What I want to know is whether skipping to 7.1 is a good idea right now,
or should I be more conservative and go to 6.1?

I have a customer that I have scheduled for some maintenance. They are
moving from 35GB to 70GB drives and I'd like to move them to a more
current OS release. The question is: Should I skip 6.1 at this point
and just take them to 7.1? They are currently running V5R4M0. They
have a model 520, processor feature 7355. They have a 573D-001 storage
controller.

The plan is to do a Save 21 (twice). Remove and label the 35GB drives
(so they can be re-installed in the correct order if disaster strikes),
restore the Save 21 and then upgrade them to either 6.1 or 7.1.

What else do I need to add to the mix?

Thanks,

Pete
