Re: BPCS V4 on V5R3

[Venu Gopal <vgopal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Tom,

Yes, I believe there are quite a few issues that you need to be aware of 
here. We did an upgrade of our AS/400 box (730) to an iSeries (520) on 
OS/400 release V5R3. There are a few SQL issues that one has to be aware 
of during this transition. Also, we had problems running our 
Client/Server BPCS apps (CEA/OLM) on V5R3. You would need to make sure 
that you load all the IBM PTFs first on V5R3 that will take care of SQL 
issues that are known problems with SSA BPCS apps. Then, contact SSA to 
get their BMRs to fix some more of these SQL issues to ensure BPCS apps 
work fine on V5R3. However, remember that we have BPCS 6.0.04 version, 
so I don't know if you will have the same set of issues with your 
version of BPCS, may not have any issues at all, or have new set of 
issues. I would suggest you contact your SSA support person.
