I know several of you on here have migrated from unsupported levels of one z/OS to a supported level, but in reading the planning guide I see: If you are migrating to z/OS V1R11 from z/OS V1R8 or earlier, you are migrating from a release that is no longer supported for migration. Contact your IBM representative to find out what alternatives are available
I know this is IBM talk for pay us and we will do it, but I'd really like to try it myself. We are a vanilla shop so there are not real gotcha here, we are a monoplex and we do run quite a bite of 3rd party software, which will be upgraded first. Tell me if I am wrong, but my BIG concern are the catalogs, if they get buggered up then I am in trouble. What I am thinking about doing is create a second set of catalogs, with nothing updating them, and connecting those to test with. If that works then disconnect those and connect the real catalogs. >From the way it looks I don't think I can order any toleration ptfs or coexistence ptfs as again we are unsupported. I have just begun to read the planning guide but am put off by the above statement. The reason I am at an unsupported level is a management goof up with IBM that took several years to reconcile and so here I am. I know I am missing a ton, so please point me specific directions with what I need. I will be doing this by myself as the only other person here is a vm guy so all help is appreciated. thanks Larry ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
