Thank you both :-) Now I see what you meant. I did that the other day when upgrading v7.1.7.0 to v8.1.0.0 And I did a test from v8.1.0.0 to v8.1.1.0 and even that small step included new licenses, so I did "REGister LICense FILE=*.lic" I was only doing it once per version jump before... when up

Zoltan is correct... you have to install the license package from 8.1.0.0, I believe. Otherwise you'll get nasty messages in the actlog. Though I'm not sure if it actually breaks functionality. If there any IBMers browsing on a Friday afternoon, PMR 53017,082,000 is opened in reference to our i

I wanted to update this email thread with some of the gotchas that we have or are experiencing due to our upgrade from 7.1.7 to 8.1.3: - Watch out when using configuration management or a library manager. I don't have it documented very carefully, but if you're in a configuration management envir

I assume that the data stored in the SQL databases is the primary retention target. If that is the case, how about a flat file dump to a central storage, then use another client to scoop that up monthly. Use resourceutilization to give it several sessions, and back up to the VTL. -Original M
