Re: domino on AS400 -- MIDRANGE-L



Karl,

Couple of points:

1.)  Notes/Domino is not going to make a very good word processor.
2.) For a client to directly use Domino (email, calendar, applications, etc.) it
is going to have to be a PC connected via TCP/IP.  There is no emulation per se.
3.) You do not need CA/400 in order to use Domino.  However, if you are
connecting a PC to the AS/400 to use other applications than Domino you will
want something like CA/400 (Rumba, etc.)
4.) There are a number of different ways to get data from DB@/400 files to
Domino data base files.  Notes/Pump is a very nice way to do it but you may find
other ways more acceptable.  BTW, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think
this currently chargeable feature ($8,000) is possible included with R5?  Back
to your question though, there are many different ways and the most optimal my
be different for you and even different between different applications.

The AS/400 site has a fair amount of information regarding Domino.  You can
start with
http://www.as400.ibm.com/Lotus_Notes/notesmain.htm.

A nice faq is located at:
http://www.as400.ibm.com/Lotus_Notes/nnfaq1.htm

I think somewhere in that mess is a nice summary of Domino DB2/400 integration.
  If you can't find it I have a hard copy I can snail mail you.

Subject:  domino on AS400




We have just installed a new 720 with V4R3.
We have all twinax attached green screens.
 Now we are charged with putting everyone on a network with email and we
need a new word processor.
 Our choice: Domino with Lotus Notes.
 Our question: Is anyone running it  native on AS400? How is it? How do you
get the emulation? Do you need client access? How do you get data from as400
file into Notes documents (LEI,Notes pump)? If so do you need client access?
If we do need client access why not express client?

We have a notes/domino/network vendor who is recommending client access. All
the books and stuff we read makes no mention of client access.
