You have at least one issue. JES2 queue is not compatible between OS/390 2.10 and z/OS 1.7. You need to be at z/OS 1.4 to issue the proper command to upgrade the JES2 spool from 2.10 to 1.4 level. Once the queue is at the 1.4 level, you can then complete your upgrade to 1.7.

The "proper" upgrade path is 2.10 to z/OS 1.4 and then 1.4 to 1.7.

RACF copies just fine.
Catalogs are OK. We currently assume it will be a one way operation. Once the 
catalog is used on z/OS 1.7 it will be unusable on OS/390.
We will use OFFLOAD to copy the JES SPOOL. Probably also a one way operation.
We do not use HSM or RMM.

Hi,

We are in the final stages of our upgrade project.

The powers that be want to know if anyone has performed such an upgrade?
Were there any significant problems?

Are there any known bug is z/OS 1.7 that we should look out for?

Our current environment is:
Two z890's. Each has a production LPAR and a system test LPAR. The production 
LPAR's are connected in a basic SYSPLEX using CTC's.

Software running is OS/390 v2.10, CICS TS 1.3, ADABAS and NATURAL.

It is unsupported upgrade, so you have to pay special attention to operational 
datasets upgrade/conversion/use. I mean RACF db, ICF BCSes, HSM, RMM CDSes, JES 
spool and checkpoint, etc. etc.
Theoretically you could re-create them from scratch, but in real world you 
would want to use existing ones. It can be risky.
