RE: CISC to RISC (manual method)

[Chris Bipes <ChrisB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How many user profiles?  How many custom/customized subsystems, job
descriptions, jobqs, prtqs....  If you are dealing with a small system,
re-enter it.  I have had a problem with user profiles that were created
prior to VxRx and could not be used for this or that.  I found that the
applications was the least worry.  Lost all spool files, one damaged user
profile, OV400 really #$%^ed up.  If both machines are running side by side,
connected via LAN, you got it made.  Recreate it all one piece at a time.
Very time consuming but less problems down the road.  A complete system
restore with included qusrsys and qgpl, no other q lib's, caused many
problems down the road.  Device descriptions, lines, controller all had new
resource names and had to be deleted and recreated.  What a headache.  I
would follow the road map to the "T".  Take your time and doc every thing.

Have fun, I did,

For several different reasons, I am faced with doing a CISC to RISC
using the "manual" method....Soooo

This is a total machine replacement.. Nothing hardware wise goes forward

Data files present NO problem...(All in one library)
Source Files present NO problem ..(All in another library)
Object members present NO problem .. (All in another library)

but:

Authorities: (what to do about that) Save & Restore ??
User Profiles (How to take them across) Recreate them All ??
Communications Descriptions (How to get them across) Retrieve source ???

Most of these problems have common sense answers but I would still
like to see comments on how you would handle the "but" situations..

I KNOW the best solution(Road Map) but that's not an option...
