OS upgrade to V6R1 included an object conversion for every object.
If the object does not contain the observability code, then it cannot be converted to V6R1 and a new object would be needed from the vendor, whether it be IBM or other 3rd party.
I had many objects that could not be converted, required an upgrade of that software that was compatible with the IBM os.
How many 3rd party products reside your V5R3 system?

Subject: save and restore to do OS upgrade
Hello all,
I know how bad this is to do for about a hundred reasons, but I want to know if it is even possible. I have a satellite office that wants to perform a full save at 5.3 (don't ask), then restore it to a 7.1 system. I was always under the impression that you could skip on version but no more. So that they could go from 5.3, skip 5.4, and land on 6.1. But 7.1 does not jive with my understanding of what is possible.
Thanks, Larry
