Re: Newbie to BPCS

I would not recommend # 3.

Either 1 or 2 can be done.   I would think getting all three to the 405 CD 
version would be the first step.    It would be easier to support if all 
three levels are the same. 

You may have to compare and combine any customizing you have done. 

With the iSeries you can use library list to keep the files libraries 
separate in the different environments.

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
