Re: Are you risking termination of software support if you install OV /400over V5R1?

I stand corrected.

I changed QVFYOBJRST from 3 (the shipped value) to 1 (the don't do anything
option), and I was able to do an "Install All" (Option 1 from GO LICPGM).
I consider the fact that it loaded a bug.  Under GO LICPGM option 10, it
does show up as *INSTALLED, which I find remarkable, but that could be a
bug too!

However when I did STROFC, I got a MCH3601.  I give up!

My best guess is if you want to use this function, you will need to do
business with the people that bought it from IBM.  Alternatively you could
try Lotus Notes?Domino (*VERYEXPENSIVE and will not provide all of the
function that OV provided, although realistically it does have a
significantly greater capability that OV).  We did migrate some HELP key
applications and some mail-merge applications to TextManagement/38, which
you may already own and which has infinitely lower support cost.  (User
interface *FROMNOAHSARK)

In fairness to the Notes/Domino folks, we use it extensively, but for mail
(significantly better than OV), calendaring (about the same as OV) and
document databases (OV isn't in that universe).

Now I'm going to go back and change QVFYOBJRST to 3 as God intended it to
be.

Hi Al,

I make lots of mistakes, but this didn't happen to be one of them.

To install the unsupported version of OV/400 on your V5R1 system:

On the V4R5 system, do a SAVLICPGM PRODUCT(5769WP1) OPTION(*BASE).

You'll need to save each OPTION seperately.

On the target system you need to turn off Digital Signature checking. It's
a
new ystem value in V5R1 called QVFYOBJRST (Verify Object on Restore). I set
it to "1" to avoid all signature checking.

Then do a RSTLICPGM  PRODUCT(5769WP1) DEV(*SAVF) OPTION(*BASE)

Then do the same thing for OPTION(1) thru OPTION(4)

Then turn Digital Signature checking back on again by resetting the system
value back to whatever it was when you started.

To verify installation, enter GO LICPGM on a command line, select option
10-Display Installed Licensed Programs and page down till you see it.

HTH
