Re: OS upgrade and *PRV libraries

We have 16 lpars of IBM i. Only 4 have development tools loaded. I'd like
to cut that in half and limit it to development and it's H/A lpar.
Production had it because some software product we used to have used to
generate RPG on the fly for report programs. Your "when the defecation
hits the wind movement device" has been quoted. However, after a few
decades of this not being needed in such situations I think we can safely
rule that out. Also, we do not keep source on production.

Typically compiles are only done on the dev box and installed on the prod
box. However, when the defecation hits the wind movement device, all bets
are off.

Also, there would be no reason to compile *PRV on the prod machine because
it is always the last one to be upgraded. All of the other machines are
already at V7.4 except the prod machine.

BTW, do you compile on Production? Do you compile to previous release on
the Production box? Or do you only compile on Development and move that
over to Production?
We do not install the following on Production: 5770SS1 9 5050

My client did an OS upgrade from V7.3 to V7.4 on their dev machine and
it has caused a few problems / questions. Note that we are currently
compiling objects using *PRV because the production box is not yet at
V7.4.

1) The authorities on some of the objects on the dev machine in
QSYSV7R3M0 have been stripped away. This only appears to have
happened to objects that had specific groups and authorities and were
not *PUBLIC *USE. Is this a normal part of the OS upgrade path or do
they have some program somewhere doing something that they don't
realize is running?

2) Is the QSYSV7R3M0 version of the objects used for anything other
than compiles? Do we need to be worried about the authorities on the
production machine for execution purposes?

Thanks.
