Upgrading from PATHWORKS to Advanced Server for OpenVMS
Advanced Server for OpenVMS software may be installed and run only on OpenVMS Version 7.2-2 and higher Alpha systems. Therefore, it may be necessary to upgrade the OpenVMS operating system as well as the server software.

If you are installing the Advanced Server for OpenVMS software on a system where PATHWORKS for OpenVMS has been installed, prepare the system by following the instructions described in Chapter 1 of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Installation and Configuration Guide.

Upgrading PATHWORKS V6 server to Advanced Server for OpenVMS

If PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) is currently installed, ensure that it is Version 6.0C or later (enter the ADMINISTER SHOW VERSION command at the DCL prompt). Otherwise, upgrade to the current release of PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) before continuing.

To migrate a PATHWORKS V5 server to Advanced Server for OpenVMS, you must first upgrade it to PATHWORKS V6.

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS configuration procedure automatically converts the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) data files to formats compatible with the Advanced Server for OpenVMS. In addition, the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS server parameters and settings stored in the existing LANMAN.INI file (the repository for server parameters used by PATHWORKS for OpenVMS servers) are migrated to OpenVMS Registry parameters (the Advanced Server for OpenVMS uses the OpenVMS Registry as a repository, similar to the Microsoft Windows Registry).

For more information, see the Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Installation and Configuration Guide.

Migrating from PATHWORKS V5 Server to PATHWORKS V6 Server

You can migrate a PATHWORKS V5 server to a PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) server. The PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) product provides a separately installable Upgrade utility that you can use to migrate the PATHWORKS V5 server's user, group, and share information while the server continues to run. This allows you to plan and migrate shares, user accounts, and security in preparation for the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) installation, without interrupting file and print services. You can also use this utility after you install PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server).

To migrate a PATHWORKS V5 server to Advanced Server for OpenVMS, you must first upgrade it to PATHWORKS V6.

For information about migrating servers, see the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) Migration Guide.

For the latest details about migrating a PATHWORKS V5 server, see the latest PATHWORKS V6.x for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) Release Notes and the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) Installation and Configuration Guide.
