The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
If your box is at least V5R4 (although V5R3 is possible but not as easy),
I would suggest loading Zend PHP and MySQL and using SugarCRM. It's free.
It's open source. And it runs great on IBM i. And, once the DB2 Storage
engine for MySQL is released, you will be able to access all of the data
in SugarCRM in your existing applications.
I always try open source software first. Since there is no cost involved,
there is no reason not to. Plus, IT can become real heroes to the company
when you can deliver this kind of functionality quickly and at little to
no cost.
I hope to have time to load SugarCRM in a sandbox on the YiPs website next
week for everyone to play with. If anyone else is interested in trying it
out, let me know and I will announce when it is running here on the list.
