Upgrading Operations Console from V4R5 to V5R0

["Norbut, Jim" <Jim.Norbut@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am going to upgrade my AS/400 270 “Test” machine OS from V4R5 to V5R0
today <I think>.
In preparation the IBM instructions said that I should upgrade my Operations
Console to V5R0 before doing starting the upgrade.

But of course all of us who have Operations Console how “easy” it is to
configure <g>
And I can’t get it to connect…..it just sits there saying “Connecting
Console” for as long as it wants.

I had Operations Console working on my V4R5 w/ no problems….and all I did
was update it to V5R0.
Anyone had any similar experience(s) or fixes.

The EZ-Setup said it cannot find my com port or has no connection to the
system even though
I haven’t changed anything at all to the system or my pc other than
upgrading the Operations Console.
