Please share your experience with QDX 5.6 rev1

[Antonio Chennawi]

We would like to upgrade from QDX 5.2 rev2 to QDX 5.6 rev1. Can you tell us if you installed QDX 5.6 rev1 and if you had any issues with it in production? We are thinking to upgrade to QDX 5.5 or 5.6 and we are not sure which version is stable enough. We are on AIX 5.2. Thank you

We now have 7 sites up and running production on 5.6.  We migrated 1/2 of these form 5.4.1 and the rest from 5.3.  The first sites went live over a month ago now.  The only problems we have seen are the known State 14 problem that the rev fixes (which we should have fixed in the reply code). the other problem is with a couple FTP append threads.  We are moving those to a new method of FTP using the Tcl FTP library.  The remaining interfaces are tcp/ip MLP.  We are really enjoying the new GUIs.  they did some nice work making them faster, adn more usable.  The unlocked SMAT files (on AIX) are a really nice improvement too.

(most of the differences from a data/functioning perspective were bugs in 5.3 that were fixed in 5.6)
