RE: Upgrade

["McCready, Joan" <Joan.McCready@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You will need to recompile - MAPICS upgrade program has no idea these
logical files exist. WARNING: if you followed MAPICS naming convention, you
may get burned!! I.e. if your current MAPICS release has IMHIST07, 08 and
09, and you named your logical IMHIST10, rel 6 may have a MAPICS IMHIST10.
When you recompile your IMHIST10, you "blow theirs out of the water" and it
is a real mess to get it back in synch... (Sadly, this piece of advice is
given from experience.)

Remember to test your logicals in your test environment; then recompile them
in your live environment, too, when you "go live." If you copy the logical
from the test to the live AMFLIBx, they are still pointing to the test
AMFLIBx physical file. (This advice, too, is given from experience... It is
a painful way to learn, but you do never make the same mistake again!)

Good luck, Joan

We are about to upgrade to R6. We have written logical files that reference
MAPICS files. Will the upgrade process result in these logicals pointing
correctly to the files in the upgraded environment, or will we need to
recompile the logicals after the
upgrade?            Thanks,
