RE: More on archiving COM orders

["Shaw, Dave" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,

We agree that it's not hardware. Michael is saying that part of it is simply
due to MAPICS running the archiving as an interactive job rather than a
batch job, and I'm pointing out that that's not the only problem with the
software.

You guys don't get it.    40 orders per minute is a software problem not a
hardware problem.

Dave,

It is hard to say since Greg's 720 has 420 CPW for batch compared to 70 for
interactive.. That is a major difference..

Michael,

I agree that what you say may be part of Greg's problem, but I'd like to
add
two points:

At GNP, we were running on a model 500 and had no interactive penalty at
the
time, but it was still unacceptably slow.

Unless it's changed in the newer OS/400 releases, my observation on the
server and 7xx systems that I've played on was that if the system was
dedicated so that there was only one interactive job, the governor didn't
kick in. If this is still true, it does provide a work-around for some
customers, although obviously not all.

Greg,

The problem with the processing is that you have an interactive CPW that is
far less than the Batch CPW that your machine runs in.. Since MAPICS
decided that the purge must happen interactively, you are stuck..

MAPICS are you listening? This is a major problem that many customers
have.. Most don't archive because of this.. If you allow the purge to be
submitted, many customers machines full power can be used to blow through
these orders in much less time.
