Preparation
During preparation, the third stage of the migration process, you update
software to make migration easier. This stage may span the entire
migration process. It can start before the 900 Series arrives.
Preparation involves updating to more recent versions of MPE software and
HP products. For example:
* The MPE V/E-based system must be updated to U-MIT or later
software prior to migrating to the 900 Series HP 3000.
* Databases must be converted from IMAGE/3000 to TurboIMAGE using
the MPE V/E utility DBCONV.
* Data communications software should be upgraded from DS/3000 to
NS3000/iX.
* All applications should be updated to the appropriate language
version if NM performance is required. For example, FORTRAN/V
applications should be updated to HP FORTRAN 77/V and BASIC/V
applications should be updated to HP Business BASIC/V.
Any recoding necessary to remove incompatibilities found in the analysis
and planning stage can begin in this preparation stage. The preparation
stage should also include recompiling all source on MPE V/E to verify
that the correct versions of source are available and used.
