Conference iosg::all-in-1_v30

    The user differences document to which I placed a pointer during
    'Expert' Training is a good start.

    Your customer might be well served to attend the Pre Symposium Seminar
    which will be given in Atlanta on 3-May-1992 which covers "Upgrading to
    ALL-IN-1 V3.0".  Your customer will then be able to attend the
    remainder of the DECUS symposium well armed to ask all sorts of great
    questions to prepare themselves for the upgrade.

    Below is the agenda of the PSS:

     Introduction to the PSS
     Attendee introduction and goals
     Overview of ALL-IN-1 V3.0
     Writing your installation checklist
     Installation Procedure Operations
     Conflict and Reporting Tool (CART)
     Upgrading application packages
     Managing Customization Management
     Changes in managing resources
     Migrating from SFCP
     Additional topics and questions

    After your compliment in .0, I had to reply really!
    
    I think I said run the FCVR or at least PT before upgrading, especially
    if you're doing an SFCP migrate.
    
    We've field tested the SFCP migration at a site whose use of SFCP makes
    your customers look like a test system! They had several hundred SFCP
    cabinets I think!
    
    Once your customer gets the kit, which should be soon now, they should
    read the books straight away. Perhaps you could obtain an earlier copy
    to let them have a look at?
    
    As far as SFCP cabinets belonging to departed users, that shouldn't
    matter as long as the owning accounts still exist. Once you've gone to
    V3.0, you could move the corresponding into a more sensible place.

    Re .2
    
    Well excusing GAP's use of old terminology (FCVR was renamed to TRU and
    TRM some years ago) i'd just like to point out that the running of
    PT or TRU before migrating SFCP is *RECOMMENDED* but NOT *MANDATORY*
    as implied in the Installation Guide - the correction is in the
    Release Notes.
    
    There are many valid reasons that customers may not or cannot perform
    either or both before the upgrade and certainly on the guess that the
    site that GAP is referring to is Denver VAMC then we'd still be trying
    to upgrade them now if that was true! 
    
    They've been running DIAMOND for 4 months now and have still to have a 
    successful TRU/TRM run - but of course they are a 'worst case' scenario.

    Thanks for the thoughts...
    
    Check me on this; see if I've got it right.
    
    I have two Shared File Cabinets: "Projects" and "Ideas"
    
    	Bill and Lucy have access to both of them.
    
    I upgrade to V3.0
    
    Bill and Lucy can now access a DRAWER named "Projects", and a DRAWER
    named "Ideas", both of which are "simple" shared drawers. 
    
    Is that correct?
    
    Who "owns" the Shared Drawers?
    
    Thanks again
    
    John
    

    If Bill and Lucy are currently using SFCP to access two shared cabinets
    then they are using something like

    [PROJECTS]folder-name and [IDEAS]folder-name

    as the folder name.

    After the SFCP upgrade script has been executed then the 

    [PROJECTS]MAIN and [IDEAS]MAIN

    drawers will be accessible to all those users who had access to the
    shared file cabinets prior to the upgrade.

    The users can add these drawers to their file cabinets using the Add
    Drawer (ADR) on the Drawer Management (DRM) menu under the File Cabinet
    (FC) menu.  The users can give the drawers any name they wish.

    The files in the shared drawers are owned by the VMS account which was
    used to contain the SFCP directories prior to upgrading to V3.  As
    Graham said in an prior reply, you can change the ownership if
    required.

    Have fun,
