Re: Are any updates needed in order to upgrade from V4R1 to V4R4 of OS/400.

Chris,
Check the SSA/IBM APAR for specific PTF requirements:

There is an IBM informational APAR which is maintained jointly by IBM Software
Support and SSA Helpline which lists recommended PTFs and tips for running BPCS
on various OS400 release levels.  This includes V4R4.  The informational APAR is
II11801.  It can either be viewed online via the web, or ordered through ECS on
the AS/400 just like a PTF.

Here are instructions for each method:

1.   Order it as a cover letter on the AS/400 through ECS (SNDPTFORD command)
 SNDPTFORD PTFID((II11801)) PTFPART(*CVRLTR)

2.   View the cover letter on the AS/400:
DSPPTF LICPGM(INFOAS4) SELECT(II11801) COVERONLY(*YES)

--- or ---

View it on the Internet from the AS/400 service homepage:
a)   Go to URL http://www.as400service.ibm.com
b)   On the left side take the link "Tech Info & Database"
c)   On the left side take the link "Software Problems - APARS".  (This may open
up a different browser window)
d)   Take the link "All Info APARs by Release"
e)   Select "Search" and enter II11801, or select the release and scroll through
until you find II11801.

Subject:  Are any updates needed in order to upgrade from V4R1 to V4R4 of
      OS/400.




Version/Release = 6.002
Patch/Cumulative Level = PLF Jan 98
Platform = AS/400
Database = DB/2
Mode = Mixed Mode
Client OS = Win95

Issue Description = Are any updates needed in order to upgrade from V4R1 to
 V4R4 of OS/400.
I am planning on updating the operating system of our AS/400 this weekend
from V4R1 to V4R4
in preparation for a hardware upgrade the next weekend.
I know I need the data base ptf SF99104 from IBM, which I have.
I know I need the latest cumulative PTF package C0049440, which I have.
I also know I need the Hiper package SF99095, which is on order.

I also know that I need new keys for all of the products on our system, for
 use after the hardware upgrade.
These permanent keys are on order as well as temporary keys, because it
takes so long for SSA to issue new keys.

Do I need any other PTF's from IBM or BMR's EMR's AMR's from SSA.

We have TLE/400 V3.201 Service Pack 003,
We have ASSET Version V6.0.04,
We have User Vision2 v1.3.4,
We have SPM, I think it is version 3.2 its library names start with
STV602*.

We are also using the TCP/IP interface with the client server portion of
BPCS.
Library name MMTCP.

Any know issues/solutions would be appreciated.

All input will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Chris Ertz
