Before I lost three people, we were planning and partway there on upgrading to Adabas 8. One database in one sandbox is actually running Adabas 8.1.3
The usual path (or at least how we've always done it :) is to upgrade the SVC first as it has generally been backward compatible. Who knows, I may still get an Adabas upgrade accomplished before the 5 years to no mainframe is over :) Dave Gibney Information Technology Services Washington State University > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On > Behalf Of Linda Mooney > Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 4:39 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > Subject: Re: testing z/OS 1.8 on a Z/196 or z/114 > > Hi Dave, > > > > Im curious, why the 8.1.4 ADABAS SVC with the 7.4.4 product level? > > > Thanks, > > > > Linda > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > From: "Dave Gibney" <gib...@wsu.edu> > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 4:28:51 PM > Subject: Re: testing z/OS 1.8 on a Z/196 or z/114 > > I'm running Adabas 7.4.4 on a z9-BC under z/OS 1.11 > We're running a 8.1.4 version of the Adabas SVC.
