i5/OS Program Conversion

Ensures unprecedented system integrity

Delivers improved performance

Enables exploitation of future system and processor capabilities

Program conversion will be required to run with next i5/OS release

– Program conversion automatically upgrades software to exploit latest system enhancements

– Not required for POWER6, which can run i5/OS V5R4

Conversion requires program's creation data (observability)

– Note that all programs created for V5R1 or later releases have had their creation data automatically saved during program creation

Tool available now to analyze program conversion for i5/OS V5R3 / V5R4

– Identifies potential issues, if any, and estimates conversion time

Program conversion is performed during install/restore of applications, at first use or at scheduled time

About Conversion

Replace existing program object, without compileo Most attributes retained; modification timestamp updatedo Works for all* created for V5R1 or later,

older programs unless creation data removed

One-time process, but required either direction o V5R4 or V5R3 V6R1o V5R4 or V5R3 V6R1

Integral to V6R1, so no options or added fees

Average per-program convert times, large sampleo Sub-second on fastest processors, < 4 seconds on slowesto Programs with many modules can take a lot longer

Optional conversion during restore, mandatory before running

Mandatory conversion during restore

No conversion required

Program conversion method choices on V6R1

Choose combination of methods o You initiate by library

– STROBJCVN

o Restore/install– FRCOBJCVN(*YES *ALL) or set QFRCCVNRST >= 2

o First call (etc.)

Consider ANZOBJCVN estimates, Redpaper recommendations

Must regenerate applications that won’t converto Compile from source or acquire

Note that it is IBM’s current practice to support an i5/OS release until the next two releases have been made available, plus twelve months. So, for example, it is projected that i5/OS V5R3 will be supported for twelve months after V6R1 is available. Exact dates vary according to a variety of factors, including development schedules and IBM’s broader software lifecycle support cycles. For example, to simplify customers’ software lifecycle management, IBM currently coordinates end of support dates for i5/OS and other IBM software products in April or September. This presentation contains information about IBM’s plans and directions. Such plans are subject to change without notice.
