Hello All,

Believe it or not, we have a new customer who is currently version 1.4 on an old version of SCO Openserver. We need to put in a new SCO box for short term because the old one is getting ready to croak. The modifications they require to our food system will take us a while, so we don't have the luxury of putting them on version 7 yet.

Does anyone have original 1.4 install files for SCO? And maybe even docs? We tossed ours years ago so I am assuming most of you did the same. Hopefully one of you did not.

I know there are many ways to skin this cat. This would be the easiest.

Thanks.

Lew

Does anyone remember when we had to perform the "$MERGE" update. Was that moving from 1.5 to 2.0/2.2? Does anyone have SCO PROIV 1.5 and docs? Maybe we can just do an upgrade to 1.5.

I believe I do have some documentation on the various updates required when migrating from one version to another. I will try and locate it for you Lew and post it on here.

Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler

I have attached two documents that I was able to locate pertaining to upgrades. The first is an extract from the PROIV Migration Tool documentation and lists the various upgrades that are performed by the utility. It may be advantageous to contact PROIV, as they are the own and maintain the utility. They are usually pretty good on turnaround with exercises like this.

I also recall that the Version 5.0 release notes had a comprehensive list of upgrade utilities that should be run as part of each version upgrade. The applicable utilities were shipped with each version of the product. I do not have a copy of the version 5.0 release notes, but was able to locate a 5.5 version which may be helpful.
