Tom,
A very short assessment...
The migration will be relatively straight forward and not complex at all.
Since you are doing a "push" migration to a new system, your fall back plan
is to go back to your original system should you have problems. (In place
migrations are much more complex and have considerably more risk.)
Given that you are at a pretty current release (UV 10.0.3), the migration
will be easy. Since UV is object code compatible, there is no need to
recompile anything.
There are three major cycles:
1) Initial machine setup, install of AIX, UV & Application Programs
2) moving the data for end user testing (and the actual end user testing
cycle)
3) moving the data for the actual go live (and post go live support)
You would have to make sure you have all of the GCI subroutines built in to
UV when you migrate.
You may have to run fnuxi against the files if the high order bit is not
the same. Maybe someone can chime in if this needs to be run.
My personal recommendation is to go to the most current release of the O/S
& UV. Usually, it is quite some time before someone in your company would
give you authorization to do an upgrade. It is usually 2-3 years, (unless
there is a problem is discovered that requires an upgrade to do a defect).
Regards & Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply,
I didn't believe the hardware would be an issue, I believe it will be to
IBM
AIX.

Would that be DEC/COMPACQ/HP Unix to IBM AIX or DEC/COMPAC/HP
WinNT/2000/3003 to IBM AIX or DEC/COMPAQ/HP WINwhatever to IBM
WINwhatever?
Hardware isnt really the issue.

We are a UniVerse shop that is investigating moving off our
DEC/COMPAQ/HP
hardware.
Our company is a heavy user of IBM equipment and I am
inquiring on
folks'
experience with moving UniVerse from the DEC/COMPAQ/HP to an
IBM
system. I
am looking for very high level information.
I know that most of the time, "the devil is in the details"
but I
have
worked with PICK on various hardware platforms in the past
without
any real
troubles and just need some general information c/o
DEC/COMPAQ/HP to
IBM to
present to our team.
Thanks,
Tom Downey
