V6R1 Presentation Slide Show
Keith Zblewski of IBM was kind enough to provide the slides from his i5/OS V6R1 presentation for BMUG on March 27, sponsored by the Genisys Group. It is an excellent summary of the changes and even includes links to IBM documentation and upgrade analysis tools available on IBM.com.
“On Demand” changes in V6R1
Although i5/OS V6R1 is just now rolling off the press we wanted to remind everyone of a potential major impact if you are an On Demand (RDARS) shop. IBM announced in February 2006 that V5R4 is the last release which will support several On Demand options.
