RE: 730 to 825 migration

["Alex A. Moore" <alexm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IMHO the risks introduced by doing a migration "not by the book" are
_FAR_ greater than any perceived problems with V5R2.  V5R2 is very
stable.  Just remember to review the V5R1 memo to users and PSP info
along with V5R2, since you are skipping that release.

Subject: 730 to 825 migration

I am planning to migrate from a 730 at v4r5 to a new 825 partition at
v5r2. My client does not want his 730 to be upgraded to v5r2 as he is
concerned with having problems in v5r2.  He is requesting that I NOT do
a "by the book" migration where the source system is upgraded then the
target partition loaded from scratch from the save of the source system.
I have done two of these "user data" migrations before but both were
very small systems (600, 170).  I know the issues with QGPL, QUSRSYS,
QDLS, IFS, etc.

Two requests.

I would like to hear from all of you if going from v4r5 to v5r2 has
given anyone problem.  Are the clients fears founded?

Please comment on the non-conventional migration.  Is this a reasonable
request?
