    Hi;

      We are currently on an Iseries Box running V5R4, Lawson version 9.0.0.9.  We have  have a new box running V7R1.  We want to upgrade Lawson to 9.0.12.  Is it possible to upgrade Lawson in the V5R4 box to 9.0.12 then Restore it to the new box?  Thanks !

      Hi Jean,

      We are in the planning stage to do what you will be doing. The answered is possible, but the Lawson software stores the IP address in the software. Unless your new box has the same software, the process is easy. If it does not, you will have to find where all the hardcoding of the IP address is and change it to the new box IP address.

      The will take longer, therefore we are doing new install of 9.0.1.12 on the new box with the V7R1 OS.

        Hi Kelly,

        Thanks for the information. We will change the IP address of the old box. The new box will have the IP address that's currently being used. Have you heard if there are any problems putting Java 1.6 on a V5R4 machine. Once again thanks for the info.

          Hi Jean,

          I was informed that you can upgraded the to 9.0.1.12 on the V5R4 box, but would have limited running the software.  It would come up, but running as full application is not recommended.

          Therefore putting on Java 1.6 should not be a problem.  I was told the tricky part is the migration of the LDAP.  Also remember to run the Websphere on 64 bit.

          regards,
          Kelly
