He's invented the Fran-keyboard! What else would one use with a

Larry, if you have invented a keyboard with 31 function keys, you are
truly
a magician..... :-))

If one is using a change management system, one should utilize that
system
to re-create the objects. This will avoid screwing up the database that
keeps track of the activity performed on an object. It will also keep
the
auditors from getting cranky that you did something outside the control
of
the system.

My standard approach is to create a user defined option in PDM that
submits the job. Place the option next to library one and then press
F31. I usually send them to QBATCH but use priority 7 or 8 so I can
regulate the number concurrently running. Once the jobs are submitted I
go into the jobq and move the primary production objects library to the
top. I also submit the IFS conversion and move that to the top of the
list as it's often one of the longest running.

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 ?
