Re: Writers using *IBMSNMPDRV driver end with CPD337A

[Jerry Draper <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Machine came pre-installed with V7R5 but NO cum or group PTFs (beware).

We decided to migrate from V7R3 to V7R5 while doing the Power720 to 
Power10 migration.

The ERP software is from the early AS400 days so mostly contained in 
defined libs.

So, this was more of a "test and migrate from the old system piecemeal" 
done in a systematic way.
