Re: upgrading from 720 to i520

Several people do successfully save items off a V5R1 machine on to a V5R3 
machine.  With the claim that it saved them downtime because they didn't 
have to take the time to upgrade the V5R1 machine to V5R3.  I'd argue that 
I've seen TOO many problems with this technique.  LPP's messed up, IFS 
objects messed up, user profiles, authorization lists, object authorities, 
directory entries, system values, etc, that I would not recommend this 
method.  I'd argue that it will actually increase your downtime fixing all 
the mistakes.

Judging by the earlier response, perhaps that is what is meant by a 
RISC-to-RISC upgrade.  And I wonder if that recommends upgrading the OS 
first.
