• SYSVIEW Performance Management

Issue/Introduction

Migrating from SYSVIEW R15.0/R16.0 to R17.0, is a COLD start required?  

 

Environment

SYSVIEW R15.0/R16.0

Resolution

There is no requirement to do a COLD start.  Please review the "Migration" section under the "Logical Groups" Chapter of the Scenarios, How to Articles, Videos and Online Help Topics manual.   

The migration is automatic if the logical groups definitions are stored in the persistent data store and WARM starts are being utilized

If the SYSVIEW Main Services Address Space is being COLD started, then logical group definitions are loaded from the PARMLIB member GROUPS. In this case, it is the user's responsibility to maintain the definitions from release to release.
