Re: Upgrading your OS release level

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We went from V4R5 to V5R2 on our 720. No ill effects felt. I don't think
there are any SPD bus issues with V5R2. I know that there was an issue with
stuff like HTTP server and Firewall for AS/400. There is also the trigger
program issue which has been thoroughly discussed here.

Thanks,

Mark

i am being told that migrating from anything UNDER 5.1 will cause some
information to be either compromised or lost completely. Can you
corroborate
that at all?
