PH40567: IMPROVE MIGRATION PROCESS FROM IMS PA V440 TO IMS PA V450 AND FORWARD-FIT OF IMS PA V440 APAR PH40378

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• On the initial invocation of IMS Performance Analyzer V4.5,
  existing users of IMS PA are presented with a warning panel
  describing changes to certain Control data sets that renders
  them incompatible to previous versions of IMS PA. JCL to copy
  and rename the existing data sets is then presented to users to
  assist in the migration process.
  However, the documentation does not adequately describe which
  steps are required and which may be optional. This APAR modifies
  the migration process and updates the documentation to more
  clearly define the process.
  
  This APAR is also a Forward-fit of IMS PA V440 APAR PH40378 for
  ABENDS002 when creating a Transaction Index record.

  1.  On the initial invocation of IMS Performance Analyzer V4.5,
      existing users of IMS PA are presented with a warning panel

      them incompatible to previous versions of IMS PA. JCL to

      users to assist in the migration process. However, the

  2. Forward-fit APAR PH40378 for S002 abend when creating
     Transaction Index record.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. The migration process is now completed in 2 steps:
        A background copy of the existing IPIOPROF profile member
        to a new IPI5PROF profile member to maintain existing
        definitions in the IMS PA V4.5 environment, and
  
        JCL is presented to copy and rename the existing Control
        data sets for use in IMS PA V4.5, if required. This step
        is optional for users with shared files, but still
        recommended for users with individual Control data sets.
  
  2. Forward-fit APAR PH40378 for S002 abend when creating
     Transaction Index record.
