RE: V4R5 to V5R2

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Don't sweat the conversion estimate, unless you're some time critical 24x7 
shop.  There are so many caveats in there to protect IBM's fanny that you 
may not find a use for it.

Does anyone remember if these ptf's were accurate for them?  And was the 
time estimation long enough that they had to alter their upgrade plans?

I know its been a year or two since I had to do a release upgrade but I
NEVER remember it being this difficult in planning!

The CD is labelled "iSeries Installation Estimation PTFs for V4R4 & V4R5
Software"  The PTF's are only used to estimate the time required for
object conversion when upgrading from a V4 release to a V5 release.
