Re: V5R3 Upgrade - time needed

Use WRKPTFGRP on their system to get their current group PTF levels and
order the current version of the relevant groups also.

I have been asked to order all PTFs for a client's V5R3 520 machine that
has
not had PTFs applied since it went live April of 2004.  IBM has provided me
with what I needed to have the beta HMC 4.1 upgraded to 4.5.

I have only ordered the latest cumulative CD for the operating system but I
want to be sure that the licensed programs are also covered.   ECS is not
functioning on this system.



I have requested the client give a 12 hour window to do the HMC upgrade
with
a full system save and 2 HMC critical resource backups (before/after).  Is
this sufficient time?  For the OS upgrade scheduled for a following
weekend,
I have requested another 12 hour window to do the OS upgrade.



Someone else will be doing the actual upgrades and I don't want to short
him.



Thank you,

Bonnie Lokenvitz

  (why me?)
