Re: V4R4 upgrade without upgrading CA for Win 95/NT

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhui@xxxxxxx>]

David,

  I can tell you that V3R1M3 of CA will work on a V4R4 system with little 
problem
but no new functionality. As you are already planning the migration to Express
you are on the right track for sure.  Since the XD1 product is the CLIENT side 
of
the 'older' CA if you don't upgrade it, it will sit there at V3R1M3 so your PC
users who still run the Check Version won't be asked to upgrade. Unless you are
actually using the AS/400 for loading PTFs to the clients I would recommend that
you simply remove the XD1 product from your system prior to the upgrade. The
existance of XD1 on the AS/400 is not required to run it on the client side.

  You will want to make sure the XE1 product gets loaded during the upgrade as
that is the Express Version.
