Don,
We are doing a 405CD to LX conversion ourselves. A coworker, Kevin, has
ran the process several times for testing over the last several months.
Our production lpar and our test lpar are both on a beefy machine with
lots of disk space:

I am not sure what all the libraries are, but, by golly, we end up with
a dozen new libraries when he runs the conversion. Granted, most of
them are quite small.
Our implementation date is EOY.
We've put our users through extensive ERP training. After that,
extensive LX training.
If you need more info I could probably get it for you. I have to tread
lightly with that coworker - stress factor is high for him about now.

I believe conversion tool comes with the purchase of upgrade, but please
double check with Infor. The size of DASD depends on amount of data,
rather
than current size. It sounds like 1T is more than enough, you may be
able
to
get by with smaller disk and increase it if needed. It sounds like you
are
evaluating your options, you will need much more memory and processing
power
fo LX.

Thank you, Yan. Are the tools an extra cost, or included? If we have
an IBM server with 70GB currently, how would a Terabyte on a new server
suffice after the 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?
