Re: CISC to RISC Circa 2006 (was RE: V5R4 upgrade from V5R3)

IBM's removal of the S36 Migration Tools from current releases
has made this a more complicated process. I'm working a similar project.

The customer in the S36E (and very happy with it) has initiated the upgrade

because they had no connectivity to their Windoze server.

We think we have all the PTFs.  We will migrate them to a decommissioned
170 at V4R5, and then upgrade that to V5R2.

Then we will upgrade that onto a 520 at V5R4.

Not a lot of knowledge running around about this process any more.

Technically no, but if you've had any major disruption (like an abnormal
termination) RCLSTG is generally good for what ails you.

I'm currently doing a CISC to RISC, and a RCLSTG is mandatory there.
