Officevision and V5R1

[Dave Mahadevan <mahadevan@xxxxxxxx>]

Folks:

Any of you thinking of upgrading to V5R1 and keeping office vision,
please follow the steps outlined by an IBM guru here.  I got this from a
vendor.

Brian Podrow of IBM mentioned this during one of the V5R1 sessions in
Rochester, and I wanted to pass it along to you. Please remember that I
haven't tested this (nor, I suspect, has Brian, although I do respect
his
technical abilities and judgement). With that caveat, and also
remembering
that IBM officially has discontinued Officevision 400, and has further
declared that it is not supported after V4R5, please note the following:

===================================
Officevison 400 should run under V5R1, and perhaps future releases.
However,
you (or the customer) must do the following:

        o Save the Officevision product from the LICPGM menu
        o Save the QOFC library separately, just in case.
        o Save all folders on the system (just a precaution; folders are
part of OS/400)
        o Install the upgrade to V5R1
        o Install the associated PTF's for V5R1

Then you should Install the Officevison 400 licensed program and the
folders
that you saved in the first steps above.

Please emphasize to your customer that this is UNSUPPORTED by IBM (and
you).
If it does not work, you have nowhere to go for assistance. I would
ensure
that your customers have checked out (and are considering) the solution
providers below if their needs require Text function (or e-mail
function)
from "dumb terminals."

Customers, as you all know better than I, can be pretty hardheaded about

such things. I don't want any of us "on the hook" should this not work
to
their expectations.

Thank You.
