Preparing for Changes to Commands and Libraries

As you can see from the "Commands and Libraries" section of the Release Notes for HP-UX 10.10, HP-UX releases 10.0/10.01 introduce a large number of changes to commands and libraries. In some cases, these changes will cause problems for code and scripts that invoke the commands and routines in question.

If you have chosen the "Quick Start" approach described in Chapter 3 “Planning a System Upgrade ”, HP recommends you do the following:
- Scan the "Commands and Libraries" section of the Release Notes for HP-UX 10.10, and Chapter 8 “Compatibility between 9.x Releases and 10.01 ” of this manual, to get an idea of what has changed.
  If it looks as if many of your scripts and applications will be affected, use the analysis and conversion tools described in Chapter 5 “Converting Code and Scripts ” to identify the specific lines of code you need to change, and make those changes.
  You can ignore warnings about invalid pathnames, since you are relying on transition links to take care of those.
If you have chosen the "Full Preparation" approach described in Chapter 3 “Planning a System Upgrade ”, turn to Chapter 5 “Converting Code and Scripts ” now and follow the directions for analyzing and converting your scripts, source files and documentation.
Then come back to this chapter to finish up the remaining pre-upgrade tasks.
