I'm going to do an upgrade on my AIX and TSM system on Tuesday. I'll give
you a detailed experience as I go through it just for those of you who are
curious.
I'm also practice making running procedures for all my activities with
detailed steps which I will share with anyone who will be interested.
Ta,
Alexandra

Subject: Re: Migrating to TSM V5.2 on z?OS
I'm interested in finding out if anyone else has experienced the long
upgradedb Dave mentions with his 5.1.9 to 5.2.3 upgrade on Z/OS? While
we have no current plans for an upgrade (5.1.7.4 on Z/OS 1.4) we have
never experienced anywhere close to this 11 hr window with any of our
upgrades and our db is basically the same size. Would the fact that
we've never been at 4.2 (where the cleanup process first appeared I
believe) play into this?
Just curious, thanks!

'cleanup backupgroups' utility before we moved up to 5.2 (btw, mine is a
z/OS shop and we recently moved from 5.1.9 to 5.2.3). This utility cleans
up orphaned database objects, which will extend your upgradedb run
significantly if not cleaned up. My understanding is that the utility only
became available with 5.1.73. So, we upgraded from 5.1.65 to 5.1.9 back in
June in preparation for the recent upgrade. Then, a few weeks ago, we went
to 5.2.3.

about 11 hours, because of the UPGRADEDB parameter. My TSM DB is about 23
GB. Other TSM Admins have reported quicker upgrade rates, so your time may
very well be better. But, as a word of warning, allow a fairly large
upgrade window, so you don't have to restore to your previous version - like
I did the first time I attempted it.
