Could you perhaps have mean the z/VM Migration Guide (e.g. "z/VM Migration Guide Version 5 Release 4.0" GC24-6103-07)? Those migration guides contain upgrade changes going many releases back (for -07 all the way back to VM/ESA 2.2!). The chapters are (not to be missed): Chapter 1. Introduction to Migration Chapter 2. System Changes Chapter 3. Changes to External Interfaces Chapter 4. Migration Tasks Appendix A. CMS Pipelines Message Cross-Reference [V2.3] Appendix B. Sample Utilities for Converting to Configuration Files At every version or release boundary, I'm always surprised <again> at how well IBM documents what has changed. Migration (mostly of the directly) is difficult and tedious enough, without this manual it would be a lot worse.

There's an upgrade path?! There's usually a description of installing the "new" system 2nd level in CP Planning and Admin. That's normally what I think of as the "upgrade" path. Also, other places in IBM tend to have codified the n-2 support level, and I'd suspect that the VM guys are also getting pressure to do that too. Mere speculation, but... > We're on George's page.

I still have a good number of CMS users, so testing SPEs tends to be harder for me in that I have to duplicate the entire scenario. I often find that these days that the bugs are so subtle, it's easier to do the next release and just leave 5.4 alone unless it's something that really breaks CP so that you can't IPL. But YMMV.
