I am a lurker on this site and most of what is covered is far above my
head.

That said, I recently upgraded to Websphere Commerce Suite and experienced
many, many, many problems with the upgrade.  Some of the base problems were
authority related to user profile QTMHHTTP not being authorized to the
proper folders on the AS/400 IFS.  There was a section in the back of the
IBM Webspere Commerce Suit Pro Edition for the AS/400 Installation Guide
which addressed authority needs.  The user profile associated with your
instance also had special authority needs along with user profile QEJB.

The tables are too lengthy for me to re-type.  If you can get hold of a
manual (pdf format?) and look there that may be some of your problems.

Hope this helps,

Dwight

We are very frustrated with WebSphere. We were able to get version 2 of
websphere up and running, we used the WebStudio product to create some very
fundamental servlets and everything was working. Since we wanted to have
128
bit encryption we decided to upgrade to 3.02. We have not been able to get
things working since then.

We had a long spell where we could not even get the thing to run, but after
numerous PTF's and untold dollars with IBM support, we have the product
running to the point where we can at least display the "Hello World"
servlet. But we can't seem to publish any of our previous servlets. They
either crash or we get a "not authorized' command. I suspect that a lot of
problems may be security related, but I have no idea what I should do to
correct them.

The documentation sucks. There isn't anything remotely like a manual for
WebSphere on the AS/400 and the manuals that are out there for NT or some
of
the other platforms seem to contradict one another, usually due to
differences between the various websphere versions. So, what am I to do?
The programmer I have working on this is ready to revolt. He has had
experience with IIS and thinks the WebSphere stuff is a pile of you know
what.

We went to the IBM WebSphere conference in Las Vegas and most of the
instructors there had never heard of an AS/400. Go figure.

So my questions are these:

1) Are there any good materials, on the web, book form or written on a
napkin that can give us some clear instructions on how get websphere
running
and publish servlets using WebStudio?
2) Is 3.02 flawed? Should we wait for 3.5 and magically life will be
better?
3) Should we look at hiring a consultant to get us over the hump?  If yes,
where would we find one?  Do you know any?
4) Should we forget websphere and do something else?

I am looking forward to your answers!
