Ed, Since nobody else mentioned, it could be possible to use a timeshare system to host a remote development team. Not sure if that's and option, but perhaps it might do for the short term. Eric DeLong Sally Beauty Company MIS-Project Manager (BSG) 940-898-7863 or ext. 1863 -----Original Message----- From: EDoxtator [mailto:doc6502@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 11:50 AM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Setting up a Model 170 for developers All The project I'm on is doing some offshore development (my client's edict, not mine). The client is incredibly fussy and slow with regards to setting up VPN access to their AS/400's, and they're not going to get the configuration sorted out before the end of January. Since they want my team to start work before then, I'm exploring the possibility of purchasing a separate AS/400 Model 170 or 270 and letting my offshore team use that. Because I'm thick when it comes to IBM hardware (or hardware in general), I'm hoping that some of the Midrangers could offer a little advice with regard to configuration. The team will be developing a set of batch server programs that are executed through a Java front end. The programs are OPM RPG, generated by Synon. The server progams are called either through a trigger firing or through stored procedures. (I can't change this setup. If I could, I would.) I know I will need: 5722SS1 - Operating System/400 (V5R1M0) 5722WDS - WebSphere Development ToolSet 5722ST1 - DB2 Query Mgr and SQL DevKit 5722JC1 - Toolbox for Java 5722JV1 - Developer Kit for Java 5722JV1 - Java Developer Kit 1.2 I know I will not need: 5722XE1 - Client Access/400 Express for Windows (the client uses Mocha, and printer support is non-existent) I'm sure I will need other LPP's, but I'm not sure what. Would I need any of the following: 5769AS1 - IBM WebSphere Application Server 5722TC1 - TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities 5722CM1 - Communications Utilities Rough estimates right now show that I'd need somewhere between 180-200gb disk. (I'm basing my estimates on the development machine the client currently uses onshore, which has many more users, and a lot of program definitions.) I don't know how much memory I would need. More is, of course, better, but what would I need for adequate, if pokey, performance? I know I will need a licence for Synon.
