Re: Zend and V7R1

[Scott Klement <web400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sean,

Since Zend Core and Zend Server run in PASE (rather than the native 
environment) they can operate more or less independently of the OS 
version.  It's possible to update IBM i and leave Zend Core running, 
as-is, on the updated box.

However, if you do decide to upgrade Zend Core to Zend Server, in my 
experience it does break some stuff, but they are mostly minor things. 
You'll want to go back and re-test your programs on the new server, and 
fix anything that broke.  (You can run both Zend Core and Zend Server on 
the same box at the same time if you like.)

Good luck!
