Re: OS upgrade 7.1 to 7.3 and Enforcive

i agree with the notion of removing them. what "bothers" me is the vendor does not have their own automated method for doing so.
they most likely have their own process for adding them during the software install.
not many have an automatic "uninstall process".

Depending on which exit points, that might be a valid suggestion, I have not
however had any problem with 90% of the exits during upgrades.

The ones that could cause issues are ones that deal with object creation or
changes, User Profiles, etc. Those activities happen in great quantities
during an upgrade.

So the answer is IBM's favorite: "it depends". To be safe, you could build
a list of the exits on the system, document the library/program name, and
build a CL to remove, then replace them as two separate actions. That has
two benefits. First it documents all your exits quite thoroughly, and
second it's repeatable.

Going from 7.1 to 7.3. The vendor advises to remove all the exit point
programs before starting the upgrade. Can someone confirm this is a
requirement.
