I am currently planning an Oracle migration from version 5 to version
6 with TPO.  Our migration is planned in phases, (see description that
follows).  

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has done a v5 to v6
migration of an application with extensive user exits, and hear about
any of the problems that happened, it doesn't matter about the exact
environment. 




Current Environment:
Apollo workstations using SQL*FORMS 2.0 and SR 9.7 with extensive user
exits.  The database resides on a Sequent. 

Phase 1 migration:
Migrate the backend database from V5 to V6, leaving the front end
processes being compiled with PRO*C 1.1 and SR 9.7.


Phase 2 migration:
Migrate some of the critical functions that operate in the background
on the Apollo rings to SR 10.3 and PRO*C 1.3


Phase 3 migration:
Migrate the application workstations to SR 10.3 and SQL*FORMS 2.3/


thanks.
