3629.0. "upgrade and clean out assets at the sametime?" by CGOOA::HOMMEN (two tents) Sun Dec 05 1993 16:53

    Hi:
    
    An important client is finally ready to migrate to ALL-IN-1 V3.0. As
    they have been an ALL-IN-1 site for many years, they have a number of
    old obsolete assets which we want to get rid of. 
    
    Is it possible to do an upgrade and clear out all the old
    customizations and assets cleanly?  I.E. do a fresh install, but drag
    over all the user profiles, accounts and similar data.
    
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

3629.1	Possible... but not supported	IOSG::HALLC	Denser than a Black Hole Singularity	`Mon Dec 06 1993 21:36`	13
	Hi there, Yes this sort of thing is possible to do but it would require a significant amount of "hacking" by an ALL-IN-1 expert to extract all the relevant file conversions etc. from the installation's postinstallation procedure and then manually convert files. The complexity of the process would also depend on whether you want to preserve all of the system's data, e.g. if you have stuff in CM that you want to keep etc. All this is totally unsupported of course! Perhaps a manual tidy up would be easier? Cheers, Chris.
3629.2	seek and destroy?	CGOOA::HOMMEN	two tents	`Tue Dec 07 1993 16:05`	8
	Sigh... Nothing is ever simple is it? So then, I must simply do the upgrade, and then do a seek and destroy on any files that are not listed as part of the normal V.3.0 kit? -Krys
3629.3	What are they?	AIMTEC::WICKS_A	WC94 Dream died when Bodin missed	`Wed Dec 08 1993 00:52`	9
	Krys, what are the ASSETS - if they're in CM then you can just remove them from live etc.... it all depends on who wrote them and when - you friendly local CSC is always open for advice on this sort of stuff Regards Andrew.D.wicks
3629.4	CART is a good starting point	LEMAN::UELTSCHI	Isabelle necessary on a bicycle ?	`Wed Dec 08 1993 14:13`	13
	Hi, You can use the Conflict Analysis and Resolution Tool (CART). It will give you a good idea what is standard what is not. To execute the tool: $ @sys$update:vmsinstal a1030 from the menu chose option RC That's it. Bernard U.
