Re: Anybody running Release 5.5 on V5R4?

Program objects are compatible with i6.1 if at least one of the following applies:
- They are observable
- They have been compiled on V5R1 or higher

Thx,
Christophe.

Jane:

Could you expand on your comment about older RPG code and R6.1 upgrades.

I'm trying to understand the parameters associated with "older" as we have several users with older versions of our code.

We are running XA R5.5 on V5.4. No issues with MUI. Even when we were running on V5R3 and have migrated to V5R4 - there were no issues that I recall on the MUI side.
A few IBM's printer files have changed the formatting - but that's about it.

Going to OS R6.1 is a bigger challenge - a lot of older RPG codes are simply not usable and needed to be converted and recompiled. So if you are planning to keep any older RPG programs in the newer release - make sure the code is compatible.

We are in the same boat as you are - planning is always on agenda...
But if we can get our MAPICS XA upgraded, even with OS r5.v4 we can live happily after!


Regards,
Jane

I searched the archive and I couldn't find any posts about people running release 5.5 on V5R4. We are currently running on V5R3 and we had planned on going to V5R4 over Thanksgiving, but we found out there may be issues with MUI on V5R4. Infor wasn't supporting 5.5 when V5R4 came out, so it has not been tested by them and there are no fixes for
5.5 and V5R4. There are some MUI fixes for R6, but we haven't been able to get a list of those fixes and the code that was changed. We have the license to the code, so if need be we can update the code to make it work.



Can anyone tell me if they are running (or was running) 5.5 on V5R4 and what kind of issues they may have encountered and how they fixed them?



Before you ask, our plans are to go to release 6 or maybe 7 next year and then upgrade the OS to 6.1 or 7.1 after that. But, we haven't gotten that approved. We are a small shop and it would take 1 person half a year to move us to release 6 or 7. Hard to justify that amount of time with the major argument being we would be on a supported OS then.



Thanks,

Kent
