Preface
This IBM Redpaper is a guide covering the migration of the AIX operating system from AIX
Version 4.3 to AIX 5L in a CATIA or ENOVIA environment.
This document was written to guide an AIX administrator through the steps of a migration to
AIX 5L, and provides the experiences made during the migration from AIX Version 4.
Professionals wishing to acquire a better understanding of the migration process may
consider reading this document. The intended audience includes:
Customers
Sales and marketing professionals
Technical support professionals
IBM Business Partners
This publication does not replace the latest pSeries and PLM marketing materials and tools. It
is intended as an additional source of information that, together with existing sources, may be
used to enhance your knowledge of software migration. During the development of this
publication, several migrations were performed to successfully verify software migration on
different machines and configurations.
At the time of writing, Dassault Systemes AIX 5L support for CATIA and ENOVIA is only on
Version 5.1. However, since the support for AIX 5L Version 5.2 is planned for the near future,
this documentation can also be used to migrate into a AIX 5L Version 5.2 environment.
For specific information about the differences between AIX releases refer to the AIX
Differences Guide Version 5.2 Edition, SG24-5765, which describes AIX 5L Version 5.1 and
5.2 enhancements.
