RE: 24 hour operation

You can also manually hold back from processing the transactions. Do you
know how much time is required for the backup, MRP, and other batch
jobs?
I have worked with many companies that are processing 24x7. Everyone of
them has a procedure that does not require mirroring, second AS400, or
other 3 party software. It just requires some planning and scheduling.

Contact me if you need some additional information.

The other less expensive alternative to mirroring is to use data
collection
software such as RTDCS, which will store transactions outside of BPCS
and
than sync them when BPCS is available. This will allow to do a normal
backup, while still post inventory and labor transactions, not sure
about
inquiries. You still need to define time for month-end and system
maintenance and full system backup.

we are contemplating adding a graveyard shift. this would mean that we
would
need to have BPCS available on a 24 hour basis for inquires, inventory,
and
labor posting. we need to run MRP and several other batch jobs that
access
the BPCS files each night.  plus we need to do the daily data base
backups
on the as/400.

who has experience with this type of an environment? can you share any
thought, what to do's, or what not to do's?
sincerely
