RE: The future of PASE.

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

I thing the future of PASE is assured.  PASE has received major updates in
V5, and serves a different purpose than AIX in LPAR configuration.  As I
understand it, PASE is intended as a porting environment, allowing *nix
based tools to run NATIVELY as OS400 jobs.  That's an important distinction
to vendors that want to promote OS400 native solutions.

Will IBM keep supporting and enhancing PASE?

Or is it 'fully installed'?  Meaning how could they possible enhance PASE 
without enhancing unix as a whole.  Thus there is nothing left to enhance?

Or, will IBM be pushing more and more people to Linux that their answer 
will be just to get another server (or lpar) to handle this stuff?

Sample.  IBM did just come up with a new version of TSM in pase. That 
speaks positively of PASE.   However support on that over the weekend gets 
you the 'third string' person.  Would support be any better on a Linux or 
unix version instead of getting keyholed to that one person who passed by 
an iSeries on their way to the coffee counter?
