Re: V4R5 to V6R1 Questions

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

If:
- you are moving to a new machine/LPAR and the new machine will be up for a
bit while the old machine is also up
Or:
- you have another machine/LPAR at your disposal
Then:
 you can create a remote outq and simply send all of the SPLFs to the other
machine.  It's fast and most SPLF info is retained.

In our shop we've told people that SPLFs do not survive upgrades.  They
aren't allowed to be kept on the system for any major length of time anyway
(7-30 days max) so this isn't that much of an issue.  Most reports are PDFed
and placed in the IFS so they have a few days to copy them to their local PC
if retention is required.
