It was awful hard to track down as the message is somewhat vague. When a message is telling you a user profile is full and the storage is specified as *NOMAX it turns into a bit of a head-scratcher. IBM were a little baffled at first, but eventually (after the problem recurred 2 days later) I got onto someone who was able to point me in the right direction. Like you I eventually stumbled on the PCTFULL report, although this was a coincidence - - I was doing some security stuff. I regularly approach the 32,767 limit on members in a physical file (and have hit it once) as we have a system that receives files from a Unix box via FTP and adds them as new members in a file. This is the underlying design problem that caused my ownership problem - the same profile used to own the file receiving new members and the archived members. Regards Evan Harris >I have hit limits several times over the past 5 years, does anyone else hit >limits? examples of a few I have hit are: Maximum folders in an ASP 65536, >max docs in an ASP 349,000, Max object ownership by user profile -- this IBM >command has helped solve this issue -- PRTPRFINT SELECT(*PCTFULL) >PCTFULL(30).

I work for an automotive supplier, and several companies are discontinuing bisynch support as an EDI option. It gets even hairier as more companies move to VANs and Internet-required connectivity. If you have a choice, a third party package that supports multiple protocols may be your best bet. (We use Gentran, which offers bisynch, asynch, and FTP support and scripting, among others.)

I was with you 100% until right here. When (not if) a mainstream format dies off, it will be the exception that someone thinks to go back and read all the archival information from the old format and store it onto the new. Partly because this is no official date of death (it just get's scarcer and scarcer), and partially because even if someone in your organization spots the trend in x years, how likely is it that someone would propose a Big$ project to recopy CD's to something else? (and then how likely that it would get budgetted and approved?. Wow! That sounds a little to fatalistic to even to me. I don't mean to come off sounding like Chicken Little, it's just that the whole issue reminds me of this mindless obsession this industry has with "backups" (As if backing something up was a valuable act all by itself). The fact that something is backed up carries little weight with me. But, if it's a backup I can restore from....

While it is conceivable that Rumba and Client Access won't co-exist on the same client (doubtful, but possible), there are no conflicts between Rumba and Client Access on the AS/400. The AS/400 really doesn't care that much about what client you are running. If I were to gather a guess, I'd guess that your network guy installed a buggy version of Client Access (there were a couple of those!) and vowed never to go through that again. jte "Bale, Dan" wrote: > Since I started here about one month ago in a multi-AS/400 environment, I've > been using Rumba version 6.0 on an NT 4.0 workstation and I hate it.

(We can't ping etc. due to security restrictions imposed by our client.) 1. Anyone know of 400 s/w to do something like this? 2. Anyone using any other method of 24hr monitoring which is 400 based? PS The 400s are in different buildings with seperate comms., power etc Thanks, Mike Dunnion ************************************************************ MDC Information Systems Merchants House Merchants Quay Dublin 8 Ireland Tel: +353 1 6791330 http://www.mdc.ie mdcis@iol.ie ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 10:36:19 -0400 From: "Shaw, David" <dshaw@spartan.com> Subject: RE: Client Access & Rumba co-existence Dan, My previous employer has two NT servers that run Rumba and Client Access simultaneously to the same AS/400. We never had any problems with them that could be attributed to a conflict between the two applications. The reason is that they're running DCSI's bar code package (I forget the product name - Data Collection Advantage or something like that), which needs Rumba to feed transactions to the MAPICS PM&C interface. The version of Rumba that we got had a problem downloading data from the MAPICS file library because there were too many objects in it, so we had to use Client Access to get to that data. It was annoying to have to do it that way (Wall Data wasn't real supportive about it), but it worked fine. Just make sure you don't have client-side name conflicts between the two and you should be okay. Dave Shaw Spartan International, Inc.

Our ZMOD400 package is relatively inexpensive and can connect with anything - - it also operates with most of the EDI packages out there (Harbinger, Gentran, Extol).
