1) RPC not working on V7R3
Resolution:
IBM created PTF MF64720 to resolve the issue.
2) 5770SS1 29 Integrated Server Support failed to install.
I had 5 NWS, which I varied off prior to the PWRDWNSYS DELAY(60) RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(*IMGCLG) IMGCLG(V7R3OSPTF).
These varied on automatically, causing option 29 install to fail.
What I forgot to do is set these to *NO on IPL
Online at IPL . . . . . . . . . . : *YES (should have been set to *NO just for the upgrade)
Resolution:
Varied them off.
RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5770SS1) DEV(OPTVRT01) OPTION(29)
3) VIP DocManager not working.
OS upgrade changed public authority from *USE to *EXCLUDE for system object QPMLPMGT. This object is used to confirm license product information.
Resolution:
Changed public authority to *USE for system object QPMLPMGT.
4) Spoolfiles being emailed were being rotated.
This should have been included as part of customization but was overlooked.
Resolution:
CHGPRTF *all/all q libraries Degree of page rotation . . . . *AUTO
V7R3 Default was *DEVD.
Other than the above,
Smooth upgrade using combined V7R3OSPTF DSLO image, single image called I_BASE_01.
All license keys and customization was included as part of the image.
Total time - 4 hours.
Save prior - 1 hour.
Upgrade - 45 minutes.
Upgrade check, resolution fixes, few remaining PTFs, IPL, - 1hour.
Save after - 1 hour.
Thank You
