Re: Upgrade from 6.1 to 7.1

Hi Pete

I hear ya - I am just saying what the document says and what we have
seen. The document saying "included but not supported" quite surprised
me as I had understood it had been removed beforehand.

We also recommend converting the Anynet connections to EE beforehand
- the 2 that didn't happen were quite accidental and we converted them
after the event.

Given the minimal effort required to get to EE it doesn't make any
sense to stick with Anynet anyway.

Evan,

       When you are in the field you certainly see and learn things.  I heard the same thing from people in Rochester, but it isn't supported.  Therefore, I would prefer to move a customer to EE beforehand, because if on the off chance AnyNet doesn't work after the upgrade, then we have a problem.  I don't want to have any problems after an upgrade.    As you said, in most situations it will probably work, but on the off chance it doesn't I don't want to be in that situation, scrambling to implement EE.

       I certainly wouldn't recommend that anyone stay on AnyNet.  But people do a lot worse that is for sure.  One more point.  In the memo to users for IBM I  VsomethingRnext there probably isn't going to be anything in there about AnyNet going away since it went away in 7.1.  Now, what are those customers going to do that stayed  with it, and don't see anything in the next release if it was totally removed?

       Thanks,
