I suggest: 1) Install VM Director on 5.4, using the install USER DIRECT as source 2) Create a list of all files on VMSECURE (VMDIRECT?) 1B0 using LISTFILE (EXEC ARGS 3) Edit out any files (userids) that are 5.2 specific from the CMS EXEC 4) Do a CMS EXEC SENDFILE TO second level VMSECURE/VMDIRECT 5) Receive them onto the 1B0 disk 6) Send everything on the 5.2 VM Director HOLD disk to 5.4 and receive it as above (If you had VM:Secure you would do the RULES disk as well.) 7) Do a source start of VM Director on 5.4 8) Remember that this is a snapshot of your production system. If you are not doing a cutover IMMEDIATELY, you will need to have a method to merge changes/redo this.

I'm trying to determine how to do this. I have contacted CA, their recommendation is to install the product on my 2nd level 5.4 system. Any other thoughts?
