RE: Upgrade to a 270

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did not upgrade but Installed a new AS400 by first added the necessary
user profiles manually.  Then creating the subsystems manually.  The job
queues, out queues... This took lots of time.  Then I restored our
application libraries and data libraries.  I had to configure the whole
system from scratch, what a PAIN.  But I replaced a CISC 3.2 system with a
4.4 RISC system without going to 4.3 first.  The 170 came with 4.4 and we
did not have 4.3.  This was a new box not an upgrade even though we replaced
the CICS with it.  So if you are not upgrading, you can install/restore your
user applications to the 270 and there is NO road map for this.  Lots of
work! Very clean install ;>)

This is crazy!  I've ordered a brand new 270.  I don't want to migrate
anything over EXCEPT my user program and data libraries.  Why do I have
to
go through a 100 page roadmap and 270 page software installation guide?

I should just be able to turn on the 270, and do RSTLIB's.  Why is this
process so difficult?  My source 400 is on V4R4.   Why can't a 270 that
has
V4R5 just restore previous libraries?

If I want to restore a customers tape from V4R2, I can't?!?

There has got to be support for restoring customer data from previous
releases in V4R5!
