All the stages you have will continue to work. Overall you should be able to export the jobs at V5 and import them at V8. At some point server job parameters changed in that they could no longer be modified; so if you do that you might have some recoding to do. If you have a "standard" installation and don't use undocumented tricks in your jobs then you should not have many issues on the upgrade.

IBM advise to upgrade to 7.5 before going to 8.x when your start point is earlier than version 6.
