Re: Activation Group and RCLACTGRP

From the vendor's perspective they've probably done extensive testing and
it works for them.
If you add any extensions to their software you do so at your own peril.

I don't agree with it, but it is an opinion.

There's a lot of things I disagree with about many vendor packages but
they get the job done.
Some things I disagree with:
- No journalling by default
- No commitment control
- No referential integrity
- No check constraints
- No primary keys on tables

These all concern me.

From a higher level perspective I much prefer a vendor who actively
participates in IBM's Early Ship Program and is ready to run on the latest
release on the date of announcement of a new release or, at the latest,
date of General Availability. This means a LOT more to me than support of
V3R2 onward to 6.1 and some weak statement that they have a customer or
two that's running it on something higher but that's at your own peril.
