Re: Installing Websphere - no joy

["Jim Langston" <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our AS/400 is on V4R4 and I installed Websphere V5R1 on my
PC.  Does it work?  Mostly.

After I installed the new Websphere (didn't upgrade, this
PC didn't have Websphere installed before) things didn't
work well at all, will illegal operations and such, so
I went to the Web Update link provided in the Start Menu
for it and downloaded the fixes and installed them.

I couldn't get the PTFs from my AS/400 since my AS/400
didn't have them.

Things mostly work now, but I have found myself saving
quite a bit.  I think yesterday only 1 time did Code
400 crash where I lost changes made to Code, but it
seems to be becoming more stable with time, don't know why.

One annoying thing is every now and then when trying to
download a file from the AS/400 I would get an error
stating that Code 400 was busy with another request,
although there was no other request.  The only way I
found to fix this is to reboot, although logging off
and back on might do it also.

I'm on Windows NT Workstation Service Pack 6, BTW.

Jim Langston

Bruce,

I'm glad I could provide you with some cheap entertainment...

The saga continues.  I have abandoned the install/uninstall
of the V4R5 version.  I'm pretty sure the registry still has
remnants of things I could not find and remove.  I only have a
few new weird Windows 2000 behaviors to deal with, and the disk
space is only about 500 megabytes less than I started with...

So I am going to load V5R1 Websphere.

Does anyone know if the V5R1 version of Websphere will function
correctly with a V4R4 or V4R5 iSeries 400?

Thanks for all your help,
