Donna:

The SQL migration process is independent of the OS version (ALLBASE runs
on UX also). What is important is that you version of ALLBASE your coming
from and what you are going to. If you are on MPE/iX 4.0 you are probably
on an A.F#.## of ALLBASE. The current (latest) version of ALLBASE for 5.5
is A.G1.21. When changing Major versions ALLBASE (ie: from A.F#.## to
A.G#.## where the letter changes) you must run the SQLMIG utility after
you install your new OS to convert the internal structures of the DBE.

Failure to do so will cause ALLBASE not to run.
