There is an article on my website which describes how to do this, and the CL
code you need to perform this.
http://www.itechsol.com/newsletter.cfm then find the article on COMMON
Connect Aug 2008 V6R1 is it ready. The CL code is in there. I use this on
EVERY upgrade that I do, and it will generally do the conversion in 40% of
the time that is stated on ANZOBJCVN *REPORT *LIBSUM

Subject: V5R4 Object Conversion Strategy
Hi All
We've been making some plans to upgrade a bunch of machines from V5R4
to 6.1 or 7.1 depending on hardware and other factors; 7.1 is our
preferred target where it is do-able. In any case, a post upgrade
object conversion will be required after the upgrade (we understand
the ramifications of getting ANZOBJCVN done beforehand).
I seem to recall reading here a few suggestions about the best way to
approach this, but some searching of the archives has not turned up
the answers I thought I saw. We are looking to run the STROBJCVN
multi-threaded after the upgrade is complete - has anyone got any
comments on a general approach or strategy they use to manage this or
is it simply a seat of the pants judgement on a customer by customer
basis ?
I'm thinking about creating a specific job queue to run the object
conversion through then setting the number of concurrent jobs allowed
concurrently from the queue to a value estimated during the upgrade
preparation and based on the machine, number of libraries and the
conversion estimates from ANZOBJCVN. Then after the conversion we'll
just run a program to list the user libraries and submit a STROBJCVN
for each library to the conversion queue.
Anyone see any problems with that approach or have any alternative
suggestions ?
