The upgrade takes a very small amount of time; expect the server to shut
itself down after the upgrade processing is done.  Then restart it without
the parameter.  The upgrade process apparently just adds some control
records and doesn't convert the database to a new format.

There is a price to pay for not converting.  Expect your expire inventory
time to go up quit a bit.  Each unconverted page must be reformatted in
memory before it is processed, but the reformatted page isn't written back,
so this must be done over and over until each page becomes empty.  When it
is reused it is written in the V2 format.  So eventually your 'exp inv' time
will come back down.

Subject: upgrade ADSM-database from version 1 to version 2

Hello,

I've got one simple question for you folks. This weekend we are going to
install ADSM MVS-server version 2.1. For the moment we are running ADSM 1.x
and we have a 3 Gb database + his mirror,so in total we have a database
from 6 Gb.

When the server comes up for the first time I read that we must start ADSM
with the parameter UPGRADEDB.

My question to the group : did any of you ever did this upgrade and how
long did it take you to do this upgrade (with which size of database ?)

Thanks for any reply,
