Re: CFINT01

Hi,
some time ago, we had a customer who had a real bad deal purchasing an
AS/400 server (s30 I think), As you can remember, this ones had the limit of
7 interactive session's max.  There were no upgrade path from the servers
models to standard model.  What we did was to put a small as/400 as a
communications FEP an passthru to the server, and "voila" passthru doesn't
count as an interactive job. So, you can have an 5250 screen on batch. You
can also manage printing with remote OUTQ printing.

Bill --
 One other comment I haven't noticed as yet:
 True, CFINIT kicks in to regulate "interactive" use.
 By "interactive"  IBM announcements (and innumerable IBM presentations)
mean ANY green screen or green-screen emulation. Including:
* CA/400 and third party terminal emulators REGARDLESS of connection
type.
* "real" twinax "fixed function" displays -- again regardless of how
it is connected.
* the 5250->HTTP converter in TCP/IP(!).
* 3270 displays signing on via the internal 5250->3270 support.
* And yes the "native" 5250 emulator in the IBM "thin client" box.

IBM didn't miss any tricks when "finding" interactive functions running
"green screens".

 If this sounds like a "push" to go "truly" client/server .... maybe it is.
I've been told by more than one IBMer that we can thank the PC servers for
the high overall box CPW with low(er) software prices if the interactive CPW
is also "low".  (OK -- no flames -- I just pass along what I've heard.)
