One recommendation (perhaps a warning) about the object conversion:

If you use GO SAVE Option 22 (Saves the OS, IBM program products, and
IBM portion of the IFS), make sure to do the object conversion BEFORE
you do the save!

After our upgrade on Thanksgiving we ran our normal Option 22. Which
ran. And ran. And ran. And finally got around to saving the IBM
libraries ("Now saving 1 of NNN libraries").

As near as I can figure, the SAVE/22 was the 'first touch,' and all
programs in the IBM libraries were converted before the save. Since the
system was in restricted state, they ran single threaded.

Otherwise, we submit jobs for each library to a multi-threaded job queue
and fire up a batch subsystem, which runs a lot faster than doing them
single-threaded! We used Pete's program but passed in the name of the
jobq (so we could change our minds).

Next time we'll have to remember to convert the IBM libraries BEFORE the
save!

Of course, there were NNN fewer libraries to convert once we started the
'official' conversion!
