Re: BPCS 6102 Performance

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are also experiencing interactive hits on 405 CD after upgrading to V5R1
... we sometimes jump several OS/400 versions in an upgrade so I not know
for sure which V#R# most responsible.

When we were V4R3, interactive hits were virtually non-existant, perhaps
once in a blue moon.  Now we get them perhaps once a week ... a bit heavier
during some current conversion work.

There are jobs that should be JOBQ not interactive, to use 400 resources
properly & I moving them, but one thing that bugs me is how it disrupts
testing new programs and modifications.

When I working on software development, I like to test on-line so that if
it fails, I see precise point of failure, not have it in JOBQ then get
hung.  I test, I go back and tweak the program, test again, then when happy
with the output, create a JOBQ version.  Well thanks to CPW getting tighter
with OS/400 upgrades, there are some programs I can't use that approach on
anymore.
