>From a "Cognos point of view" and just off the top of my head:
- Moving to series 8 (8.30 or 8.40) gets you on to a supported version.
- You have more relational options. Not only is Oracle supported but =
you
also have direct access to SQL.
- You have new interface options with PowerHouse Web.
- Since it's series 8, you get more consistency across platforms if =
UNIX or
Windows become important.
While there have been some issues, and hopefully people will post them, =
in
our experience based on customer calls, generally the upgrade from 7.10 =
to
8.30 has been smooth. It may not be as simple as just a recompile, but =
it's
not like migrating from one platform to another. We have an upgrade =
guide
that's available from the customer support web site. You can also get =
the
release notes for 8.30 and 8.40.

Subject: Migrating from POWERHOUSE 710G3 to a higher version.
Hello,
I am making a study about the benefit of migrating POWERHOUSE VER. =
710G3 to
a higher version. We are running POWERHOUSE with OpenVMS VER V7.3-1.=20
May be some of you have already been through the process of such =
migration.
What would be the significant improvement to do it? Is there any =
pitfall or
problem that I should be aware of?
Your help and comments would be very appreciated,
Thank you,
Alain Lortie
