Re: No more 3rd Gen COM in 6.1?

What is the status of the configurator under 6.1?

The DFS COM (Fat Client) is definitely RIP in eBPCS, i.e. v.6.0.1.  COM is ONLY
available in a standard 5250-type application on Mixed Mode AS/400, and in and
OPS, Thin-client version for Full Client/Server AS/400 and Unix.   This allows
eBPCS clients to use the ODW toolset to do any needed modifications to COM
themselves.  It also simplifies the amount of network traffic for order entry.

As for CEA, it and OLM still remain as DFS applications. They have NOT been
rearchitected.
