Re: ANZOBJCVN

They just need to build V6R1 distributions, like they did when V3R6 came out all back in the '90's and before that when the AS/400 came out in '88. I don't remember there being a huge delay after IBM started shipping before we were able to get it back then. It took some planning on our part to be sure we had everything ready to go, but what doesn't in that kind of upgrade?

I'm not sure exactly how they build their distributions, but I'm pretty sure they designed the system to handle this kind of thing in a reasonable time frame. If there's a significant delay, it'll probably be due to testing to ensure there's nothing in the new release that bites them, not because of problems getting the compiles done. As a major vendor, they probably have at least one pre-release V6R1 machine already.

Yes, I ran it and nothing has observability which is what I suspected.
Infor is going to have to recompile everything.

Don't know how they are going to do it.

Just put the observability back in and leave it and we load the tape
before OS upgrade or provide you with a tape that you have to load after
the OS with all converted objects.

Because of this, I don't suspect any MAPICS shops are going to V6R1
anytime soon. It may be a year or more before they get this done. Huge
job I would imagine.
