Re: We go live one month from now...

[Pete Olshavsky <polshavsky@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Geoff,
   I have done many different conversion/upgrades. From just about every 
release of mapics to whatever was the current release at the time. (was my 
speciality with former employer)  Did a BPCS to mapics. I combined 2 mapics II 
env into one XA R3. 
Not sure if you are converting from another package or implementing from 
scratch. So it would be hard to give you advice without more details.
But since you have been doing for the past 22 mths it sounds like you would 
have tested once or twice. 
But think about maybe doing a backup at various points. And expect the 
unexpected. 
As for source, there are 2 schools of thought there. Which I won't bore you now 
with... 
There is a fair amount of expertise on this thread. Plus with Mapics support. 
Should be able to get you thru..
 
Good Luck

Hi to everyone on the mailing list.

My name is Geoff Richardson and my company have spent the last 22 months 
preparing to implement MAPICS XA 6.0 We are finally ready to go live at the 
first sites. I don't really have a specific question for y'all, but I would be 
very interested to hear your memories, lessons, experiences and advice relating 
to the implementation and roll out of MAPICS at your companies...

TIA,
Geoff
