No.  On models 400, 5xx and 6xx, your interactive and batch are the same at
all releases.  Where you have to spend the bucks is if you go to 7xx or
8xx.

Hi Everybody,

           Excuse me for busting in here.  I have a 620 2179 on v4r3.

           Are you saying that if I upgrade to v4r5 that I will have to
purchase
interactive features for all 5250?

           That the act of upgrading the operating system alone can cause
that?

           I had planned to never upgrade my machine due to the interactive
tax - but
if I understand what you are saying, this means I am stuck at v4r3 from now
on!

           I love the AS/400, but my company can ill afford the interactive
tax.  Can
somebody clarify this?

Thanks
Rick

Hi,

We're looking at upgrading our box from v4r3 to v4r5 (just to get to a
supported release).

The machine is a 9402 400 with processor feature 2131. We have 160MB of
RAM and 24GB of disk with 16GB usable (combination RAID/MIRROR) of which
about 54% is used. It's supporting mainly green screen/telnet
interactive users (about 30) and a tiny bit of netserver stuff.

I wouldn't say we have performance problems, but response time sometimes
is borderline, I would not want to see it get worse.

My question: if we go to v4r5 do I have to expect diminished
performance? Greatly diminished performance?

If I was to upgrade the RAM to the maximum the box can take (I think
about 224MB) would this make a big difference?

Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Matthias
