RE: QSYSINC

Hi,

(Sorry, for the non-AS400 discussion, but I opened the door with my earlier
comment.) Are you telling me I can get original XP disks and reformat all of
my Windows 7 machines? I was told it could not be done by the folks we order
PCs from. Would this also be the case for MS Office? I would love to go back
to an earlier version of Office as well. This would be awesome.


Thanks,

Just FYI, Microsoft TechNet offers all of their operating systems, back to

DOS

6.x versions, also Windows 3.1, 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, etc.

A Technet subscription runs from $199 - $349 year ($599 if you wasn't

physical

DVDs). You can access all of the content online.

So it is wonderful that IBM provides support for old releases, but by way

of

comparison, MSFT offers the same support without requiring human
intervention.

Hi all,



I want to thank everyone that made suggestions on loading the System
Openness Includes and JDK 1.3 for v5.1 without the installation disks.
Ultimately, it was good old IBM that came through. They sent me a new set
of
v5.1 disks. I had to fill out a form and go through a process, Withdrawn

Order

Process and Template for Archived Product Code --i/pSeries (non
zSeries) and, viola, a new set of disks arrived in the mail. All of the

folks that I

talked to at IBM were helpful and knowledgeable. They seemed focused on
helping me with my issue and not just getting through the call, like so

many

other help desk centers I have dealt with. They even double checked with
me that I was okay with receiving these disks without software support.

They

were concerned about my being able to use them without help, not their
getting a piece of the pie! (Try to get that kind of service from

Microsoft. It

would be the equivalent of asking MS for a set of replacement disks for
Windows 98 or NT.) Best of all, it was FREE!! I am sorry for the blatant

plug

here, but IBM support ROCKS!!!



Now that I have that fixed, do I need to set up a TCP/IP connection on the
AS400 with the server hosting the SQL database before trying to perform
Java/SQL commands to access data from it or just provide a path with the

IP

address when I submit a connect command? I ask because my attempts thus
far have proved fruitless.





Thanks,
