Re: Ready to scrap an AS/400

[Ted Barry <TBARRY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you ever heard of an implementation schedule or did you just slam
the system in hoping it would meet your every whim?

Since, you're about to scrap it as junk, I'll be glad to take it off your
hands.  I'll make it sing or maybe I'll sing to it, and it will recognize my
voice and be glad that someone knew what they were doing.

Right now, my perception IS reality!  I'm about ready to scrap this piece
of junk AS/400 for something else.  It just plain can't do the job!  We
have a 170 (V4R4M0)that is running Domino(5.0.4) and a voice response
system
(VRS) as
the main applications along with the backend applications.  So there isn't
much to the system and it still can't handle it.  Domino locks up and
causes
problems for the VRS as the http server consumes more of the cpu %. 
This
means
members who are calling in to the VRS are either getting kicked out of the
system halfway through their process, or they can't even get in.  It also
means
that anyone who is trying to pay for memberships get locked out.  I can
only
imagine what these people think, but I'm almost sure it's not good.  Since
many
of the membership include people who would be influential in the
decisions
to
their own companies systems, I would ask, How is this for an
advertisement
for
the AS/400? or How long can my business afford to be down with
AS/400?

Ticked off with the AS/400.

I used to have a boss - different sort of fellow - anyways he used to

Nina,

You've hit the nail on the head here. It is not that the 400 *can't* do
these things. The problem is the *Perception* is that it can't do these
things.
