Re: Query 4.05CD - V8

["Genyphyr Novak" <novakg@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

The SQL PTFs from IBM (which someone else posting had referred to) are
listed in II12963, which is an Informational APAR updated jointly by the IBM
and SSA support centers.

I would also recommend searching the SSA Global support web site (OnePoint)
in the "Product Bulletins" section for any post-release information that is
not covered under normal BMRs. This is where 'things to be aware of' in BPCS
or ADK are posted, such as changed compile options in V8.x releases (which
was one of the most recent bulletins to be posted) and some performance
recommendations for BPCS V6.x and V8.x versions running on V5R2 OS/400.

Also carefully read the conversion documentation for converting your
database - the conversion utility has been updated for V8 - contact the
support center to find out if there are any BMRs for the conversion software
itself since its release.

Just before you start to test the new implementation, you can also ask
support center for an 'explosion' of all BMRs done for the BPCS release you
are moving up to since it was cut to CD - if you are converting to the new
release, you may as well get the latest copies of the programs to start
testing with.

Thanks,
