RE: OS 400 upgrade

[Neil Palmer/DPS <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like to set up the old and new systems with SNADS and just SNDNETSPLF 
between them.  Create a profile to send to on the target box and change 
the output queue to the one you are sending from, send all the entries 
from that queue on the old box (just use option 1 against all the entries 
on a WRKOUTQ and use the comand line for TOUSRID((user_id newsysname)), 
and when received, change the user profile on the target system to specify 
the next output queue you are going to send, send those files, and so on 
through the output queues on the source system that you want to save 
reports from.  Make sure you change the command default for SNDNETSPLF on 
the source system to DTAFMT(*ALLDATA) before sending.

What methods do you use to move/save spool files?

Hello,

I will have something similar to do soon : Migrate from a 820 in V4R5 to a
520 in V5R3 (of course). Does it mean I have to migrate my 820 first in 
V5R2
before saving and restoring on 520 ? Is there a simplier way in my case ? 
I
thought I could simply start my 520, install LIC, OS/400 and LPPs, 
configure
network and then restore CFG, PRF, *NONSYS, DLO,... from 820.

Thanks.

This is not quite true, the "required PTFs"  that  come on an extra 
CD-ROM give you
a menu similar to those upgrade preparation menus when converting from 
CISC-to-RISC.
You are able to accept the license agreement(s) from there in advance 
and I didn't
need to babysit that upgrade to press the F14-button to accept them on a 
one-by-one basis.
There was a memo to users describing that process.

HTH, Philipp
