Malc P - pre migration guidelines
Posted in 2005
Malc P.
I remember in the Infobahn you wanted what to check for prior
to migrating to a new version of IDS.
The new migration guide in IDS 10.00.xC3 documentation
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ids9help/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.mig.doc/mig66.htm
includes a "Preparing for migration" chapter than includes a
"Diagnostic Information That You Need Before Upgrading"
pre-migration checklist.
Also there is a chapter "Converting to Version 10.0" that
convers how to upgrade including space needed for sysmaster(!)
and that you need to run all the onchecks before hand.
Personally I would run at least
oncheck -cR (reserved + log pages)
oncheck -ce (extents)
oncheck -cc (system tables)
oncheck -cS (metadata and smart blobs)
prior to migration.
Also make sure in-place alters are complete (via dummy updates).
Does this cover what you need? Do you want a breakout session
at the next usergroup meeting on this?
