RE: GMD Purchasing Application -- MAPICS-L

We have approx. 150 users on a model 620-2175 with 768 Meg of memory and 35
Gig of DASD at about 60% usage.  We have 13 modules including COM.  We
continuously hear complaints on response time.  Since we converted to XA5
last weekend, printing of a Pro Forma invoice usually takes about 10 minutes
without anything else running in batch and we have seen it run for about 30
minutes if another job is running.

        It was done on a AS/400  Model 170, and we really don't have
problems with
        the performance.
