First
Please clarify we understanding correctly what is being forced.
Backward migration from BPCS 4.05 (is this CD?) to BPCS 2.0 ???

The standard advice in such a situation is for you to get your resume updated
& get out of such a scenario as fast as you can.  Next, is to get a business
analyst outside consultant to explain to upper management what the
consequences would be to make for sure they know what they are doing.  Sounds
to me like an enormous expense comparable to converting from say Windows 9x
to MS DOS, or from modern business practices to Horse & Buggy with no
internal combustion engines used for any delivery of products.

What version of Y2K compliant solution is being used for the BPCS 2.0 ?
Can the outfit that is supplying that help you with the conversion?

Do you have a net change document that lists all the stuff 4.05 can do that
2.0 can not do, such as support for facilities, and do you know whether the
stuff that will be no longer supported is stuff that you will be living
without, or if you have to find some other way to get it, such as via
multiple environments & the extra hardware to support that?
