RE: 730 to 825 migration

[Dan Thomas <dthomas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the "by the book" approach?  We'll soon be migrating from a 620 v4r5
to an 810 v5r2.

Subject: 730 to 825 migration



I am planning to migrate from a 730 at v4r5 to a new 825 partition at v5r2.
My client does not want his 730 to be upgraded to v5r2 as he is concerned
with having problems in v5r2.  He is requesting that I NOT do a "by the
book" migration where the source system is upgraded then the target
partition loaded from scratch from the save of the source system. I have
done two of these "user data" migrations before but both were very small
systems (600, 170).  I know the issues with QGPL, QUSRSYS, QDLS, IFS, etc.

Two requests.

I would like to hear from all of you if going from v4r5 to v5r2 has given
anyone problem.  Are the clients fears founded?

Please comment on the non-conventional migration.  Is this a reasonable
request?
