Re: 405cd to erp/lx migration

Don,

There is much more to conversion than copy files. There are twice as many
files, the files that you have will have 2 to 3 times more fields and some
of them will need to be populated or defaulted. Infor provides conversion
tool that runs on IBM i. The tool will do most of the work accept changes
defined during implementation and some other minor bugs. My guess is it will
do 95% - 99% of work. You will need to have a lot of disk space available,
the process moves data for every BPCS release between source and target.
There is a way to run it step by step (clearing previous version files), but
it will take a lot of time.

Anyone do this on their own?

Are the migration tools included with the upgrade - and if not, what
would be strictly the cost of the tools - with no training or support
added in? Is it true that the migration software runs on the IBM i? Is
there much more to it (to moving over existing data) than cpyf with
*map?
