RE: VFYIMGCLG Parameter

Well, I went ahead and tried the TYPE(*Upgrade) option. It failed

Message ID . . . . . . : CPDBC22 Severity . . . . . . . : 30

Date sent . . . . . . : 12/09/08 Time sent . . . . . . : 12:17:40

CUME. Reason code 2.
Cause . . . . . : Required image for type *UPGRADE was not found in image
catalog CUME. Reason code 2. The following reason codes indicate the image
that was not found:
01 -- The Licenced Internal Code image was not found.
02 -- An i5/OS image was not found.

Which is what I expected. TYPE(*Other) verified.

I think I'll wait until tomorrow or Thursday before doing the actual install, though, in to give Larry, Pete, et al, a chance to say "No, No! You can't install Access 6.1 on i5/OS 5.4, you idiot!" I mean, really, I had just as soon *not* having to learn how to restore a complete system from backup media, Thank you very much.

Jeff,

Well, I was told (forget who now; had the DVD for months) that I could. My BP ordered the "IBM System i Access Family Refresh - Version 6 Release 1". I think it's the "Refresh" that makes the difference. Who knows though? .-) I did a Save 21 plus it's a backup system. I guess, if it fubars, I can look forward to a new experience - complete system reload. Maybe Bolhuis, Massiello, or someone more experienced will chime in before I turn the 520 into a boat anchor.

As regards the Client side, I upgraded my PC to 6.1 yesterday. Haven't noticed anything spectacular yet in System i Navigator except (probably just my imagination) it seems to take even longer to load (if you can believe that!). I figured the new features for the client needed the corresponding code on the server. I remember, when I first started SINav that it said something along the lines of "Searching for features supported..."

Anyway, the upgrade to IBM i 6.1 isn't in the cards until sometime after January.

You can upgrade from Client Access 5.4 to System I Access 6.0 _on the i5
itself_ before upgrading the OS to 6.1?

If so, I did not know that. How is that done?

I've been upgrading the PCs to System I Access 6.1 here, but doing it
directly at the PCs . . .
