RE: v5r1 upgrade--converting files

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I gave bad information in my previous post.  Quote below is from memo to
users V5R1.  You can't find the references to a command if you can't
spell it correctly.

Apologies,
Andy


"On the first use of database files after upgrading to V5R1, conversions
occur to the database file objects. To avoid the conversion overhead and
concurrency considerations during production, consider applying PTF
SI02506 and scheduling STROBJCVN LIB(library-name) OBJTYPE(*FILE) for
each of your production libraries immediately after the upgrade. If you
have more than one production library, schedule multiple jobs to run at
the same time."
