We just upgraded to V5R1 two weekends ago.  We are on BPCS 6.0.04MM.  I did
all of the things that are talked about in apar II12963 and had no problems
with BPCS.  The one problem that I did have was with the database file
object conversion that happens after the upgrade.  According to the IBM Memo
to Users, if you have the latest cum, the latest Database group PTF and PTF
SI082872, forcing the object conversion is not required.

I had originally planned to force the object conversion after I did the
upgrade to avoid any overhead for the users on the first day in production.
After reading the above, (against my better judgement) I did not force the
object conversion.  We had a problem with 2 files going into a never ending
lock wait.  It created a huge mess in BPCS that could have been avoided by
forcing the object conversion after the upgrade.  IBM said there are some
open issues with the object conversion, so I would highly recommend forcing
the object conversion at least for your BPCS files.  It only takes a short
amount of time.  See APAR II13446.

We are on version 6.1 (mixed mode) of Bpcs and are upgrading from V4R5 of
the AS/400 Operating System to V5R1. Are there any known issues with the
client server portion of Bpcs with V5R1.

In addition, are there any known issues with the calling of Bpcs Programs
within an ILE or RPG Program.


We are not on OGS.

Thanks,

Peter Tauch
