Re: Upgrade to 6.1 or jump to 7.1 ?

Oh, I forgot: As always, be sure the system is up to date in its PTFs BEFORE
the upgrade. Also, having your PCs with the latest releases of Access
shouldn't hurt, either.

I would check firmware levels (if applicable) and the Memo to Users for
both, 6.1 and 7.1. The biggest hurdle is, as I see it, those programs that
can't be converted, but you seem to be OK in that aspect so I would go for
the latest release.

IIRC, there are some things to be taken in consideration, such as no more
AnyNet, changes to the System console, etc. A good read of the Memo to Users
should clear any major concern.

Thanks for thinking about that. Yes, I already ran ANZOBJCVN and all is
well. They are ready to go.

I have a customer that I have scheduled for some maintenance. They are
moving from 35GB to 70GB drives and I'd like to move them to a more
current OS release. The question is: Should I skip 6.1 at this point
and just take them to 7.1? They are currently running V5R4M0. They
have a model 520, processor feature 7355. They have a 573D-001 storage
controller.

The plan is to do a Save 21 (twice). Remove and label the 35GB drives
(so they can be re-installed in the correct order if disaster strikes),
restore the Save 21 and then upgrade them to either 6.1 or 7.1.

What else do I need to add to the mix?

Thanks,

Pete
