Re: AS-400 Upgrade

Roger,

I am no expert on all the guidelines, but am aware that 6.1 makes very
different demands on the box than 405 CD, so it is imperative to get at the
sizing questionairre from IBM/SSA & to get it up to date to find out what you
need on your box to support the reality that you are shifting to, but if you
doing 6.1 on one environment & 405cd on another, and this is going to be long
term reality, then you not in a standard situation that perhaps the sizing
questionairre addresses, so you need MORE support than it.

It might also help to get a copy of the IBM Redbook on BPCS, which doubtless
is not as up-to-date as you would want, but it is better than not having any
guidelines.
