Re: V3R2 programs restore to V4R5, but not V5R1? Right?

["Al Barsa/Barsa Consulting" <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no way to move QUSRSYS from V3R2 to V5R1.  If you don't care about
QUSRSYS, the programs and data will restore fine.  You run the risk of
executing the MAKEAMESS command.

Hi,
I'm just looking for a "feel better" about this planned upgrade.

I have a client who is running V3R2, jumping straight onto a V5 machine.

If I'm correct, there'll have to be an intermediate stopover at V4R5 before
restoring to V5.  Or, will V5 allow restoring V3 programs/data?  (this
would
be just too good)  I'm at V4R5, so I don't know about V5...yet.

My plan is to load the program/data tapes onto a V4R5 machine, let it
convert to Risc during the install, then just save on V4R5 machine and
restore to the V5 machine.

I know, I know, just follow the yellow greek roadmap.  But, I would rather
recreate the configuration than do the multistep roadmap thing, so I'll
just
follow this and I believe I'll be OK.  I'll have to recreate jobds, queues,
user profiles, etc...and that's OK.  And I'll guarantee that QGPL and
QUSRSYS won't be back-levelled when I'm done.

My BP is saying that IBM recommends Cisc-to-Risc (roadmap) from V3R2 to
V3R7, then move to V4R3, then to V5R1.

Your advice is appreciated....

TIA
