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!

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 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
