Re: BPCS 6.1mm performance and the AS/400

["Vivian Tu" <vtu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sandy,

What version did your shop run before BPCS6.1? Do you have the same problem
in older version?

We are currently running the BPCS 6.0.04 mixed mode version on our AS/400
and  have been through severe performance problem before(We have upgraded
our hardware to solve the problem).  According to SSA, BPCS6.1 mixed mode
should  have better response time than BPCS6.0.04.   We are planning to
upgrade to BPCS6.1 soon.  However, if BPCS 6.1 still has performance issue,
we need to do more research before action.
