Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest V3 #907

Is V4R5 still able to save to V3R2 ?  I know V4R4 will save to prior
release V3R2 even though it won't save to V3R7.  And so will V3R7.  
Save objects on both systems to V3R2 and you should have no problems
with that portion.

I've also had no problem with creating remote data queues.  They work
fine between V3R7 and V4R4.  I don't think that would change at V4R5.

Is V4R5 going to loose prior release *V3R2M0 ?  If so, that can be a 
big problem (V3R2 was the last CISC version).

Subject: V3R7 to V4R5 Data Sharing


We have a client V3R7 on  a 500. No SW Subscription and a cost of
something like $58k to get current. This 500 and it's function will most
likely go away in a year or so.

They are buying a new 820 and will need to #1 migrate a large amount
(30+gb) of data and programs to the new 820. Once the 820 is up then maybe
250-500mb of data will need to be transferred daily both ways.

I know the official line is 4.5 won't support below 4.2 or 4.3 I forget. I
know we can't use save files to go 4.5 to 3.7. So here are some questions

#1 Will 4.5 read save tapes from 3.7?
#2 Will 4.5 read SaveFiles from 3.7?

#3 If a PF is created and populated on 3.7 on the 500 and the file is
created and empty on 4.5 on the 820, can we FTP that file to the 820?
#4 How about #3 above but create on 4.5 and ftp to 3.7?

#5 Can we get DDM to work between these 2 systems or are they too far
apart OS wise?

#6 Other options?
