Re: Fw: WDSc 5.0 and appServer

Isn't this a catch22?

To get the webfacing to run in batch instead of interactive, you need to 
buy the Enterprise edition of the server and not the standard edition. 
However, when you purchase the Enterprise edition you also get unlimited 
interactive capability, so why do you care about moving the app's to 
webfacing in the first place?

Or is IBM trying to discourage the use of webfacing for bypassing the 
interactive tax, and encouraging webfacing only if you truly want browser 
based applications?

But, after having a team of individuals, who cut their teeth on 5250 when 
Fred and Barney were in diapers, turn around and rewrite the applications 
in Domino, (the same people) because they couldn't get webfacing to work 
right I've become a little soured on Webfacing.

Marco, a WebFaced application requires interactive cycles on all iSeries
boxes sold before January 2003.  On the new 800-series servers announced
and GA'd in January 2003, a WebFaced application runs in batch mode.
