In all the upgrades that I do, getting through the ANZOBJCVN is the biggest and hardest part of the upgrade. If a customer stays current with their software releases from their 3rd party vendors, and has maintenance on all their software, then I haven't had any problems going from V5R4 to V6R1/V7R1, and I have probably done over 500 upgrades.

Subject: RE: Budgeting to replace V5R4
From: Gqcy
Are there people that are stuck on
V5R4 (hope not, end of life was 1/27/2009) due to vendor not supporting 6.1?
Any other reasons, other than budgetary?
1/27/2009 was the announcement of end of marketing, not an end of life date.
Lack of time is the biggest problem we have. Hopefully we'll get through our ANZOBJCVN reports next month, then it's directly to 7.1. I think everything major has been upgraded, but last time we glanced at the reports, there were leftover objects that failed. Most will probably be unused from old versions of software packages, but we still have to go through all of them to verify.
Some of the objects that remain are due to mirroring from system A to B then swapping, and now we mirror from B to A. It's always fun comparing the systems to see what should have been mirrored or not. (Is it left behind after a delete on system A previously, or did it fail to mirror from B to A? etc...)
