+<b>Environment</b>
-Currently, there are no iDocs PTF updates to load when upgrading to iDocs 6.x
+iDocs 6.00 thru iDocs 6.86 (iView 8.42) requires V5R4+
+iDocs 6.90 (iView 8.60) requires V6R1+
+</pre></html>
 One of the ‘features’ of iDocs 6.x was that Global Offset and Form Application X/Y positioning adjustments now are functional.  In releases prior to iDocs 5.2 these offsets where ignored.  Since they are now functional, any value previously specified will now impact the current mapping alignment.  If you are upgrading from iDocs 5.2 or newer, I would not anticipate any issues as these features have been functional since these releases.  If you are upgrading from an older version previous to iDocs 5.2 and have values assigned to these functions, then you may need to reset your Global Offset settings and your X/Y positioning adjustments on your Form and Check Applications to realign the data text on the output.

 Prior to restoring your new iDocs 6.x software, you will need to rename your current library from FMG or current name, to a new name.  For example, most people rename their current FMG library to FMGOLD.  If you already have previous library called FMGOLD, maybe from a previous upgrade, you can delete your previous version of FMGOLD and then remain your current library to FMGOLD, or you can give the already existing FMGOLD library a new name, like FMGOLD2, and then continue renaming your current FMG library to FMGOLD.
+**Note:** If you have created any user output queues or files in your iDocs library you will have to save them and manually restore to the new iDocs library.  The COPYDATA procedure will NOT copy user created objects.

-The next step is to copy over your form, check, and engine definitions. Use this Command to copy your information from your old FMG library to your new FMG library. Type the command **COPYDATA** and F4 to Prompt: \\
+===Confirm your current Java version:===
+On the command line type STRQSH to start QSHELL.
+Once QSHELL is started, type java –version and the select [Enter] to evoke the command.
+The command will return the current Java version you are using.  Most likely 1.7 or 1.8.  Make note of the version number, and the select [F3] to exit.
+Confirm the current location of the IFDJAVA.JAR file:
+The IFDJAVA.JAR file will be in one of two locations; 1.) Under QIBM; or 2.) Unique Directory
+First find out if under a unique directory:
+On the command line type WRKENVVAR LEVEL(*SYS) on the command line and [Enter]
+If the CLASSPATH already exist, then take option 5=Display details to view the settings and location of the current IFDJAVA.JAR file.
+If the CLASSPATH does not exist, then most likely the IFDJAVA.JAR file is under QIBM.
+Second find out if under QIBM:
+On the command line type wrklnk '/qibm/UserData/Java400/ext/*' and select [Enter]
+Look for the IFDJAVA.JAR file
+If the IFDJAVA.JAR file is in a unique directory and not under QIBM, then do this:
+Create a new directory location for the new IFDJAVA.JAR file you will be installing during the COPYDATA process.
+Type CRTDIR on the command line and prompt with option F4
+On the Directory parameter type in the new directory location
+For the Public authority for data parameter user *RWX
+For the Public authority for object parameter use *ALL
+Then enter to create and note the directory path.
+Example screenshot:
+Add the new directory path to the CLASSPATH.
+On the command line type WRKENVVAR LEVEL(*SYS) on the command line and [Enter]
+If a CLASSPATH already exist, then take option 2. Change on the CLASSPATH to add to the new value.
+To Add to the New Value parameter, add the new string value after the starting single quote and end the string with a semicolon at the end of the new string value and the start of the current value.  Then [Enter] to save.
+Example: If we are adding /idocs/idocs697/ifdjava.jar to '/idocs/idocs688/ifdjava.jar', then it would look like this:
+'/idocs/idocs697/ifdjava.jar:/idocs/688/ifdjava.jar'
+If the IFDJAVA.JAR file is under QIBM and not under a unique directory, then do this:
+Navigate to wrklnk'/qibm/UserData/Java400/ext/*'
+Delete or move the current IFDJAVA.JAR file
+Now you are ready to run the COPYDATA command
+**NOTE: Be cautious as once this command is applied it will copy the settings from one library to another and the only way to restore will be from your backup tapes.**
+After confirming the Java version you are using and the location of the IFDJAVA.JAR file sign off and then back on.
+Add the IDOCS697 library to the top of your library list
+Type COPYDATA on the command line and prompt with option F4
+Fill in the parameters
+From Library parameter will be your current iDocs library
+To Library parameter will be your new iDocs library
+Output queue for log file you can keep as QPRINT with *LIBL for the library
+Restore Jar files do dir parameter will be the directory path to install the new IFDJAVA.JAR file.
+Current system JRE version will be your Java version you are using.
+Sample screenshot:
+Once you confirm the information is correct, select [Enter] to process
+During the processing you will be prompted if using fax, select N and then [Enter] to continue
+You can bring up iDocs by typing GO IDOCS and you will see all your information.
+The next step is to copy over your form, check, and engine definitions and spool file mapping. Use this Command to copy your information from your old FMG library to your new FMG library. Type the command **COPYDATA** and F4 to Prompt: \\
 **COPYDATA** \\

+__In version 6.91 we’ve added an additional parameter option on the COPYDATA command.__  With the recent versions of iDocs we load up a .JAR file which is available for those folks using the Java option with iMail.  In order to install the .JAR file in its own separate directory create a directory and use it when prompted for the directory path during the COPYDATA process.  If you leave the .JAR file directory path field empty, the .JAR file will be saved to the QIBM directory.  If you use WebSphere or similar, we recommend that you use a different directory for our .JAR file as to not interfere with other Java based programs.
+To create a directory use: MKDIR
+Example:
+<html><pre>
+C:\IDOCS> ftp
+                            Create Directory (MKDIR)
+ Type choices, press Enter.
+ Directory  . . . . . . . . . . . > /home/JARDIR/

+ Auditing value for objects . . .   *SYSVAL       *SYSVAL, *NONE, *USRPRF...

+ Restricted rename and unlink . .   *NO           *NO, *YES

+**To save memory, in version 6.94 any iMail log data will not be migrated into the new library. You will have to visit the old library to view the old email logging entries.**
+If you already are using iFax, before executing the COPYDATA command find out your COM port by going to a command line and typing in WRKLIND FAXCOM*.
+This will display a list of current lines being used for your FAXCOM (most likely one line).  Select the line with 5 to Display and make note of the value for Resource Name, and if internal modem or external.  You will use these values during the execution of the COPYDATA command if you are using iFax.\\

+Then verify that the data area contains the name of the library as installed on your system by using this Command: \\
