Konrad,

There is a ton of stuff in QGPL, QUSRSYS, etc that may cause problems.
Including, but not limited to:
configurations
user profiles
directory entries
job schedule entries
And IBM has been storing more and more stuff into the IFS.  Thus you may
end up missing some important stuff in various directories.
Trying to manually restore these onto the new machine without doing a
release-to-release upgrade will toast your new system.

Going to V5R2 versus V5R1 is better because:
Al Barsa says so.
You upgrade so infrequently that you might as well be current for a little
longer.
Cool stuff.

Granted, V4R3 will not update directly to V5R2.

IBM will upgrade your OS for either a set $3,500 or for a T&M contract. In
this case, I don't know if they'd charge you twice.

Andy,

We are at 4.3 on our current box. Sometimes a studied
migration (restore) can clean up alot of non-used stuff
on the old system and avoid the dreaded! old object in
QGPL or QUSRSYS!

It is my impression that IBM is air-lifting these systems
in to make their Q3 numbers. We get to see how many users
actually took the greenstreak bait.

And if I go to 5.2 I can stay on it for 4 years :))

Thanks

Konrad
