AS/400 System pools for GUI

["Hancock, Teri" <THANCOCK@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 We are currently in the last stages of testing before we go "live" with
BPCS 6.04 on an IBM 530.  We will be running in mixed-mode.  

Question:  What have been the guidelines used to determine the amount System
Pool Size required to run the Order Entry GUI modules?  

Thanks

I am unaware of anything that would affect 6.04 security as far as
signon
delay time is concerned.  Of course, I'm running 6.0.02.  The only
significant
difference between 5.1.01 (which we _WERE_ running) and 6.0.02 has been
the
action code and function key-level security in certain programs.
Neither of
the latter should affect signon speed.  Have you checked the joblog of
the
users that are taking so long to sign on?  We upgraded to OS/400 V4R1 on
our
production box last weekend, and suddenly started getting "Unable to
allocate
object Qsumpinsumpinsumpin" messages during S/O release (no, it's _NOT_
a 19
character object name, I just couldn't remember the _REAL_ object name).
The
message was in the joblog, but did not appear to the user nor did it
appear in
the system log nor the system operator message queue.  We filed a
complaint
with 1-800-WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT (IBM Service) this morning.

The slow user's joblog might provide some insight, I don't see any way
that
BPCS could be causing the problem...
