Looking for some advice....
I have an ancient ALL-IN-1 V2.2 installation that I'm going to upgrade
to V2.3 prior to transferring the users (all four of them) to a brand
new V3.0 installation on another node.
What I want to know is, do I have to find and apply all the patches
that were released for V2.3? The kit I'm going to install is dated
12-JAN-1989 so it obviously hasn't been re-mastered to include the
numerous bug fixes that were released.
I expect these four users will be on the V2.3 system for several weeks
while the new V3.0 system is prepared for their arrival, but they aren't
"heavy" ALL-IN-1 users so I'm unsure if they'll even have the opportunity
to discover any of the bugs the patches are supposed to fix.
If I really should apply the patches, where can I get them?
Thanks!

No. Some of the patches even need manually removal (forms).
I would just run 2.3. Non of the bugs are fatal.
Don't use housekeeping procedures RSD and Archiving.

Contact your CSC.
Thanks!

Greg,
Assuming you're in the U.S then your 'local' CSC is Atlanta and as I
tend to spend some time there - usually Thursdays - which is pay-day.
I 'll say that I agree with Jan to leave your v2.3 system unpatched.
The v2.3 patch system wasn't too elegant - you had to install each one
(and there were 13) by-hand and maybe do some stuff before upgrading
to v2.4 (or in your case v3.0) that it isn't worth the effort if you're
only going to be at v2.3 for a few weeks.
Go v2.4 - v2.3 and then v3.0
