Re: BPCS V8.2 Question

Hi Nadun,

At the rough rule of thumb where you need at least 5 CPW per BPCS user, you
are already overloaded! However, you say you are going to Full
Client/Server, so most of that load would be taken off the iSeries onto the
PC, although 'batch' type stuff like order entry will still require the same
amount of processor. You should do a benchmarking exercise with IBM or one
of their business partners. Do you have that kind of support in Saudi??

Hope this helps,

Clare
