Jerry,
INFOR put out a conversion tool for IBM OS400 V6.1 that replaces the AMALIB and AMXLIB with programs that have Observability set to *YES. We loaded that and did the migration to IBM OS400 V7.1 successfully. The green screen stuff works fine - no issues there but since the R6 client is using Smalltalk for communication with SQL we are having these issues. We had hoped not to upgrade to get this to work but with the results we are receiving in the client, there may be no alternative. We have not even started with Powerlink - I don't think it was available for MAPICS R6.
Hope you have better luck than we are.

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

How are you getting to 7.1 with a rel 6 XA? The objects need to have been compiled at 5.1 or greater.
We are at rel 7 going to 9.1 in the next month. Right on the heels of that I am taking us to 7.1 of the OS.
Fun for me!!!

Do you use Powerlink and EI? What ver are you on with that? The rel 9 version of PowerLink runs our rel 7 of XA.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] MAPICS Release 6 and IBM OS400 V7.1

I was wondering if anyone has attempted to run MAPICS XA Release 6 on a I series machine at OS400 V7.1?
We have attempted this feat on 3 different LPARS and have found that the MAPICS Client will not perform certain "COPY" functions for Purchase Orders and Items. I realize that we are treading on ground that INFOR specifically says not to, but we are pretty close to getting this migration to work. Since we cannot look at the Smalltalk data and the actual SQL statements, we were wondering if anyone has possibly developed a way to get past this? We definitely do not want to have to reinvent the wheel here....

Thanks in advance,
