Hi everyone. I know I am asking a question that will sound rather obvious but I would rather be safe than sorry. When upgrading to a higher level of IDS (for example IDS 9.4 FC9 to IDS 10 FC9) and after reading the machine/release notes for IDS 10 FC9 for the particular operating system (for example AIX), and..the machine and release do NOT have specific recommendations for memory, kernel, and OS patch requirements....I would assume one must read through the prior FCs (IE: IDS 10 FC8, then IDS 10 FC7, then IDS FC6, etc) and USE THE MOST RECENT recommedations that you find? Put another way.... If machine/release notes for IDS FC9 do not specify specific memory/kernel/patches THEN SER FC# = 8 LOOP (while FC# > 0) Read FC# machine/release notes If current FC# machine/release notes have specific mem/kernel/patch info BREAK ELSE FC# = FC# -1 END-IF END-LOOP Hopefully my little pseudo code makes sense. Thanks, Will

In general, I'd agree with that. -- Cheers, Obnoxio The Clown http://obotheclown.blogspot.com
