RE: Upgrade to 3.5.2b SP2

["Neil Thursby" <neil.thursby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I know the source of your MRP data problem -  If it's the same that
we had.

The test in the MRP run to check for OE and PM applications has changed.
From what I remember, it now looks for a particular display file in each
application.  Whatever, the resolution was to add OSLOED3 and OSLPMD3 into
the Libl.

Hope this helps,

Neil Thursby.

We are in the process of upgrading to 3.5.2b sp2 also (we were supposed to
upgrade last weekend in fact).  We have applied to a test world.  Issues we
have found.....
1. In test world our MPS and MRP are reporting nothing!  Geac support is
telling us that this is because of an improper install procedure.  We were
told (asking several times to be sure) that we could upgrade each
application from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2b.  When we were completely to 3.5.2b we
could apply sp 1 and sp 2 to each application.  We are now being told that
the entire system must go 3.5.2a. then 3.5.2b, then sp1, then sp2...
2.  There are several library list gotchas when applying to a test world
(hard coded libraries)
3.  This past weekend we applied to live 3.5.2b--sp2.  As part of our
standard upgrade procedure we do testing of the upgraded system prior to
allowing users access.  We received an error on PTF  PD-V3-0058! I reviewed
the job log but did not see anything out of the ordinary from any other PTF
job log I ever looked at.  Turns out we lost all data in OSLPDF3 library.
All data files were empty!  We tried running several MPS/MRP related
programs and had problems up the wazoo.  Numerous file objects did not
exist in OSLPDF3 library.  We then discovered that the users had not tested
the MRP/MPS in the test world like they had told us they had (#1 above).
We do not yet have a resolution from GEAC support on what this problem was.
We made the decision Sunday afternoon to return to 3.5.1 until we could get
some of these issues ironed out.  Will keep the group posted on the
resolution.

We're embarking on a project to upgrade our System/21 software to version
3.5.2b, SP2.  I wonder if anyone else have gone through this, and if they
can relate any particular gotchas or things to watch out for.  Any and all
feedback would be greatly appreciated.  We're doing it in a separate
"world"
first, so we have some leeway for errors, but I don't want to take too much
advantage of this fact.  We're a Style shop.

Technically Yours,
