We just went from R4 to R7.   R7 is very stable and Mapics has a good
migration program that is included with the R7 upgrade.  Make sure you
have plenty of Horsepower.  The migration took about three hours on our
new Box.

Subject: R4 to R6 or R7 

Morning Group. 
 
One of my customers is currently on R4. Ptf support has long been
discontinued and soon to be on R5 & R5.5. We are trying to decide from a
dollars and cents point of view should we go to R6 or R7?
We are just kicking tires here and are only thinking about doing this
for support mainly for the P/R module. Not going to purchase any
additional modules. Have not contacted Mapics or affiliate filled out
the questionaire for R7.. 
 
We have AP, AR, GL, IM, PR, PDM, PCC, PMC, PUR, SA.... 
 
We also have many programs still running in 36 mode. (All in house
custom stuff) 
 
I know R6 is good and I have no doubt that I can get them to R6 with no
problems, and the only expense would be my time. 
 
Questions on going to R7 ..............
Is R7 pretty stabile now, especially with only the modules mentioned
above? 
Anyone go from R4 to R7 any problems  
How long did the migration take ( This is kind of a broad brush question
because I realize # of modules, size of files, horsepower all go into
this) 
 
Would it be safer to go to R6 then to R7 when they discontinue support
for R6 in 2 - 3 yrs
Will there be any conflict or issues with 36 code and R7
 
Does my 400 need anything? running on a 520... 70 G disk, 1G memory, 500
cpw, V5R3
 
Anything I am not thinking about?
 
Thanks in advance
Pete Olshavsky
