Re: BPCS 5.1 Issues upgrading to OS/400 V5R1

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are on V405 CD
We have done modifications that include the addition of SQL to our BPCS.
I would hazard a guess that what we have done is not that unusual.

John, since both you and I are in the Evansville 400 User group, and 
several other members of that group are also on BPCS, there is another 
group you might pose the question to.

You might want to search MIDRANGE_L archives for OS/4 version upgrade 
considerations.
For example, there is a conversion that occurs with spool file entries ... 
if you not have many reports, big deal, but apparently some places had 
excessive volume.
We had some objects get larger.  If disk space at a premium, this could be 
a problem.
We using the same software as before the upgrade, and same type of usage, 
but we getting interactive ceiling hits much more often ... IBM has changed 
something to push the sales of CPW.

These are not BPCS issues directly, but depend on modifications and add-ons.
