Srikanth. We can help you with consolidating the systems, but we need to 
understand the workload requirements of each of the systems so we can size 
the correct systems for you .

On our website you can download the performance navigator tool that will 
take your performance statistics and model them for you on a "what if" 
scenario on one system in an LPAR or non LPAR environment (Think of LPAR 
as 3 Machines running in one Physical system).

If you would like to discuss or need more info, please feel free to call 
me as we do these types of projects all the time...

Dear All,
Greetings. I am basically newbie to BPCS and AS/400
environment. I need to find out a place where I can
understand the architecture of BPCS on AS/400. Would
you be able to suggest a best web site or a book that
is good for a starter like me.

I also have a requirement given by my manager where I
need to plan for system consolidation in the next few
days. We have 3 different BPCS environment with
versions 3.7, 4.0.0.5 and 4.5CD running on AS/400
platform at 3 different locations. I have been asked
to look into the following consolidation options:
1. Consolidate 3 BPCS instances running in 3 boxes
into one single box running AS/400 but still BPCS
running as 3 separate versions.
2. Consolidate 3 different versions of BPCS instances
in to 1 single version BPCS instance based on the
highest versions available in the location.
3. Migrate all 3 instances from AS/400 to Unix/Windows
platforms.

I would appreciate if you can share with me on your
professional expertise on the above options in terms
of costs vs benefits vs risks.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Srikanth
