Hi Edward, The truth is that we just got off of v1.4... Not because of the system work that was required, but because of the testing that needed to be done by application support. There was a great deal of changes that were needed to go to v1.7 and to eliminate a double billing situation with 2 versions of CICS (v1.3 and v3.1). Now that we are done, the plan is to go to v1.9 and in a couple of years go to v1.10 or v1.11 (depending on how stable it is).
We run an application called AdaBas and Natural, and migrating to that product was not easy. After we had downloaded / installed / customized the products, we needed to rollback a version because the latest release available would not work on v1.7 (yes they knew we were going to v1.7). I guess that fact escaped them the first go around.

Or are you simply running unsupported? If the latter, why limit your upgrade to within the "supported" three-year migration window? BTW, I'm not judging.
