VM/ESA Year 2000 Migration - A Case Study

Year2000 migration is considered to be the largest and most daunting
project in the history of information technology. This redbook will
help you design and implement a plan to migrate your VM/ESA system
to a Year2000-ready state. Included is guidance both on migrating
the VM/ESA operating system itself to VM/ESA Version 2 Release 2,
the Year2000-ready release, from previous levels of VM/ESA, and on
identifying and correcting Year2000 exposures in your application
programs to permit them to be migrated successfully as well.

The heart of the material in this redbook is a record of real-life
experience in VM/ESA Year2000 migration. The project on which the
redbook is based was designed as a case study, using partial snapshots
of two different IBM customers' VM/ESA systems to represent various
aspects of typical production VM/ESA environments. The three authors
planned, implemented, tested, and documented the migration to VM/ESA
Version 2 Release 2 and the conversion of a diverse collection of
application programs - all in the course of six weeks.

Also included in this redbook is a brief introduction to the Year2000
challenge in general and specifically to the Year2000 support provided
by VM/ESA Version 2 Release 2. Throughout the book you will also find a
variety of pointers to other sources of information on Year2000 issues.

Thus the book can serve as your primary source of reference material on
VM and the Year 2000.

This redbook will be of value to VM/ESA system administrators, system
programmers, and application programmers who are facing the challenge of
ensuring that existing systems and applications function correctly into
the next millenium and that new systems and applications are designed
and implemented with full Year2000 enablement. It should also be useful
to other VM/ESA users who need or want a fuller understanding of
VM/ESA-based solutions to Year2000 problems.
