Re: HBOC Series 16.0 OS compatability

[Jack Kingsley <iseriesflorida@xxxxxxxxx>]

John, are you running your HBOC in production mode or more for queries/look
up, etc.  I support several older HBOC environments that are very old.  I
was told many moons ago by McKesson that if you did not keep up with all
the software updates etc best of luck with going to higher versions of OS.
What I support is close to being sunsett'd, but I need to keep it around
for a while.  I plan on porting it to some different servers that have 6.1
for the primary LPAR, then running these older 5.4.5 HBOC's as slave lpars.
