Brenda,
 I have had nightmares in the switch over with 5.2, and 5.3 in the z/os.
You can get both of them to backup, but you might have problems doing
restores if you are on 5.3, and want to do a restore of a backup that was
done in 5.2, why ? I have no idea, I have a strange configuration here in
the support matrix.
     Just passing some info on .
 Jeremy

Subject: [ADSM-L] Going back to TSM V5.2 after attempting an upgrade to
V5.3

We are in the process of preparing to upgrade our TSM V5.2.4 Server to a
TSM V5.3.2 server on z/OS.  I hopefully have the steps down to perform the
upgrade.  It looks to me like we just need to upgrade our DB.  Has anyone
had trouble with the DB upgrade and had to restore back to TSM V5.2.4?  If
so, what steps did you go through to get back to TSM V5.2.4?  Sorry if
this questions has been asked before, but I was recently given the
assignment to manage our TSM environment.
Regards,
Brenda Stephenson
