Hi,

While migrating a project from 7.0.1 to 8.1, what are the points need to be considered? Is there any documents available for this?

Regards,

Hi,

What's the 7.0 version type ? Server or Parallel ?
If you migrate from Server Jobs to Parallel Jobs, you will need to rewrite your whole jobs as it is not the same logic.

I don't think there is a lot of free documentation available related to because it is considering as consulting.

Install the 8 client, even if you have no 8 Server yet. This will give you the documentation you need, including 'Migration Guide' and a 'Planning, Installation and Configuration Guide'.

7.0 is parallel edition. DS is installed on Unix AIX 5.1.
Unix server will be upgraded to AIX 6.1 for 8.1 installation.

Is there any stages need to be reconfigured while migrating the jobs from 7.0.1 to 8.1??

Reconfigured? No, I don't believe so. Have you gone thru the documentation yet? Just to be safe, have you confirmed that 8.1 is supported on AIX 6.1?
