RE: Image catalog to install V5R2

We will get hit HARD on this one.  We have an 820 with 1100 CPW and 120
interactive.  We hit the limit only when there is a rouge user running a
query from Hel* interactively.   I do not need 1100 interactive CPW but we
are adding more and more server functions as well a big batch jobs that love
to eat that 1100 CPW.  I cannot get rid of the 350 5250 terminal users and
the company is not about to replace 200 Terminals with PC's.  We are
SCREWE*.

IBM tells me that they are getting away with the new "Standard" models
with
no interactive, and "Enterprise" models with full interactive.  (I hear
customers with low interactive screaming, but IBM seems to be deaf.)

This is a huge understatement.  If you have minimal interactive now be
prepared to pay through the nose for a maximum amount of CPW that you will
never use in most cases.  IBM is doing their best to sweep this under the
carpet but hopefully more customers, as they begin to upgrade, will realize
how bad this deal is and will complain.  My guess is that Rochester will
continue to turn their backs but all we can do is complain.
