Re: CISC to RISC CONVERSION

[benji@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I did CISC to RISC upgrades inhouse and for customers a couple of time. Order
5798-TBU aka CISC to RISC Upgrade Kit. This is a set of PTF-s that provide
Enhanced Upgrade Assistant and a book (THE roadmap). Be sure to get the Upgrade
Kit well in advance. You can find the roadmap online at
http://as400bks.rochester.ibm.com .
Read the roadmap carefully. You will have to choose your upgrade strategy, and
this is something to take into account before you order the upgrade. The Upgrade
Assistant will assist you with order planning and upgrade tasks. It will provide
some estimates about the timings of your upgrade, but I found it to be too
conservative for most cases. You may want to run the source and the target
system concurrently for a test period. In this case you will have to synchronize
the systems before the final switchover. This must be done by hand, without the
Upgrade Assistant.
Do not take shortcuts - always follow the roadmap! At least for your 1st CISC to
RISC :-))
