Srikanth,

I would suggest getting all environments to 4.5CD first.  Then take a look
at your business requirements and constraints.  Are the two other
environments the result of recent acquisitions?  Are they to be 'stand
alone' companies or different locations of your own?  Define the advantages
of consolidating the other two onto your AS/400 - maintenance, operational
staff, contract fees, etc.  Explore the possibility of a single 'company' on
BPCS with 2 additional 'facilities' within a single environment = 1 AS/400
and 1 BPCS install.  Depending on the size and configuration of your AS/400,
3 separate environments may result in significant performance issues.  As to
migrating to UNIX, my own personal experience still causes 'full body
shivers'.  Good luck!

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
