AW: V5R1 Upgrade and 5763XB1, 5763XK1, 5763XL1, & 5763XD1 (Old Client Access)

[oliver.wenzel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello,

we are still at V4R5, but we are using old CA versions, especially DOS
PC-Support. After our scratch reload,
we had problems getting these DOS PC's to connect.

We talked with IBM and found, that eventually parts of that old PC-Support
aren't delivered with the V4R5 CDs.
When we installed our 820, we took all the stuff from the 620. Naturally, we
lost that stuff through installing the OS
from CD.

I even had to borrow a program in QSYS2 from another 820 installation (job
QACSOTP failed with missing object -
and it is kind of a login-server for DOS PC-support).

I guess it might be even worse with V5R1. I would make sure that your old
CA-Versions don't do an automatic update
after V5R1 installation and would thoroughly test those old machines.

Regards,

Oliver
