Re: V4R3 upgrade gotchas

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

WRKJOB QMSF
and see if they stay running.
We had a problem.  
To test if you are having the same problem, do the following:
WRKDIRE
F10=Search directory
In the field 'User profile' enter QSECOFR, and press Enter.  If you get an 
error that you are having the same problem.
The TEMPORARY work around is to ENDMSF and do a STRMSF with the *RESET option.  
If the *RESET doesn't work then *CLEAR.

Long term fix is as follows:

We've changed our upgrade instructions and added the following:


Follow your orderly shutdown steps.  Then,               
ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED                                       
DSPMSG QSYSOPR                                           
Wait until message 'System ended to restricted condition'
appears.  You may have to hit F10, or F5, several times. 
This message could take a few minutes to appear.         
                                                         
WRKF QUSRSYS/QAOKL*                                      
Search for any that                                      
 1)  Do not end  with an A                               
 2)  Instead end with an increment, such as 001          
 3)  And have a description that begins with Old name    
If you see files that meet all three of these conditions then  
delete these files.                                      
                                                         
WRKF QUSRSYS/QAOKP*                                      
Search for any that                                      
 1)  Do not end  with an A                               
 2)  Instead end with an increment, such as 001

Subject:        Re: V4R3 upgrade gotchas

Speaking of Gotchas:

We upgraded from V4R2 to V4R3 over the weekend and now the SMTP server
is not working.  Anybody know what changed ?

I have tried stopping and starting SMTP and MSF serveral times and even
tried starting *all tcp servers (its not going to stay that way for
long)  but no luck.

I don't seem to get any error messages or logs about why the messages
are not being sent and I have verified the operation of the POP server
which the email is being sent to/through.  (or else you won't get this
message)
