11:30 a.m. Migrating Users, Data, and Applications to SFS
           John Hall, Safe Software
 
           Abstract
 
           The VM/ESA Shared File System (SFS) provides
           substantial cost savings by improving your DASD
           utilization, reducing your system management
           costs, and improving feature and functionality for
           users.  However, migrating to SFS can be an
           expensive, painful ordeal.  Many SFS migrations
           fail because of unexpected issues, such as the
           cost of application changes.  This presentation
           provides you with a migration plan, a discussion
           of migration and management issues, and an
           overview of Safe Software's solutions that allow
           you to take advantage of SFS for all CMS data
           without any changes to applications.
