Hi Everybody,

We are in the process of evaluating various OS to move our current BaaN System (from Sun Solaris) to.

I would like some inputs on the stability of various Unix flavors and the flavor best suited for BaaN. [This is a tricky question as obviously it depends on various factors]

Nevertheless, I have noted the following:
1. AIX seems to have more issues than any other system.
2. HP Unix is most troublefree system for BaaN. UNIX itself is easy to manage and more versatile.

The activities I have put together for OS migration are:
1. File System Copy
2. Update Porting Set
3. Kernel Tuning
4. Make api6.2 again
5. Relicensing

Anything missed out?

Cheers,
Nancy

Maybe it is so obvious, you did not mention it:

You will need to export your oracle data and import it on your target OS again. The datafiles on different OS flavors are naturally not compatible (at leats not guarenteed).
