Well...that's the key. You don't need to know much about Enterprise
Extenders I don't think. The SNA stuff should just still work, right?

Rob,

While I think this is the right option for you, it
doesn't always work for every customer. Especially those smaller shops who
don't have the talent and resources to make the kind of modifications that
you describe below.

I just didn't care. I ignored Enterprise Extenders and told our team to
come up with TCP/IP replacements for SAVRST, SAVRSTOBJ, SAVRSTLIB. Who
needs STRPASTHR when you have TELNET? SNDNETF can be replaced with FTP.
There are alternatives for SNDNETSPLF. Other than that, who needs it?
SNDDST? Replaced.

Have it buried in your code? That's what the Change Command exit point is

for. We just rooted it out of our code. Used the exit point for awhile
to catch ones we might have missed. Heck, fire up the exit point now if
only to log usage.

Hi ,

Anynet is not supported over IBM i V.7. Here is the note from Memo to user
for V7

*

AnyNet no longer supported
*

Starting in i 7.1, AnyNet® (a method used to run SNA communications
traffic
over IP) is no longer

supported. Users of AnyNet are encouraged to migrate to Enterprise
Extenders
as a replacement. For

information about migrating to Enterprise Extenders from AnyNet, see the
Migrating from AnyNet to

Enterprise Extender topic in the IBM i Information Center.
Regard
Rameez

As I see it, the latest IBM i releases have been quite stable so, if
there
is not other pressing business concerns (compatibility issues, needed
features (like AnyNet), programming changes, etc), Why don't go for the
latest?

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
