File Conversion This section describes file conversion considerations for APPN, bridge static routes, Considerations DLSw, the PROfile service, and X.25 SVCs.
APPN
APPN file conversion is supported in software version 8.2 and later. Upgrading from software versions prior to 8.2 requires manual configuration.
High Performance Routing (HPR) is a new feature for the NETBuilder bridge/router after software version 8.3. If you use the Upgrade Management Utilities to convert your APPN data file from version 8.3 (or later) to 11.4, be sure to turn on HPR if HPR is desired using:
SETDefault !<port>
Bridge Static Routes
A static bridge route configured with the off option does not convert properly. You must manually reconfigure this route.
DLSw
Initial Bandwidth for Peer is a new parameter for software version 8.3 and later. The default for version 11.0 is 8000. If you use the Upgrade Management Utilities to convert your DLSw data files from version 8.3 (or later) to 11.4, be sure to set the value of the parameter to the desired value using:
SETDefault <tunnel id>
value>
UNIX Platform Symbolic When installing Enterprise OS software version 11.4 from a UNIX platform, do not Links follow symbolic links to reach a particular file (image or tar file) when using the
“Browse” option.
Upgrading From Release If you are upgrading a bridge/router from software version 8.3 or earlier, you must
8.3or Earlier disable user verification by specifying the

or
UpgradeLink
Otherwise, an error dialog box is returned with the message “Could not verify user.”
If you use tftp, the “Verify Upgrade Services” step does not need the user or password to be verified, so those entries as well as the FTP Client User Name and Password, should be ignored.
