Re: Move from V2.3 (yes!) to V5R1 or V5R2

Yes, you can do it, but you have to be very careful.

First if all, you can only use the CISC to RISC process to diagnose errors
on the V2R3 side, secondly, you will have to rebuild QUSRSYS and QGPL by
hand.  In addition, I don't think you will be automatically able to move
System Values, Network Attributes, Edit Descriptions, Service Providers,
Service Attributes or Reply List Entries.

The GO UPGRADE/UPGRADE2 menus are provided in V5R1, and this is a bug.  Do
not attempt to use them.  IBM refused to remove them thinking that this
would make more stuff break, although I think that the IBMers that made
that decisions had not completely recovered from their lobotomies.

There were problems restoring CISC authorities to V5R1, but I understand
that they have been fixed, but I would ask about PTFs.

Lastly, be SURE to do a RCLSTG on the CISC side first.  RISC doesn't do a
good job of cleaning up CISC crap, and you are likely going where no man
has gone before.  I would be happier seeing you move to V3R2 first on the
CISC side.

Hello all,
this is brand new V2.3 E10 with mostly RPG36 Programms / OCL /
some CL-Wrappers to be moved towards V5Rx on a 270 or 170.
The S36 Environment is needed for those pgms to run, but no S36-
machine, as I understand this is still available under V5, right ?

What are your recommendations ?

Regards from Germany,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Philipp Rusch
