Let me first say that I'm am looking for general direction and bullet points for achieving the objective. Suggested manuals, redbooks, links to appropriate websites would be appreciated, as well as any general summary of recommended direction. OBJECTIVE: Develop a strategy to enable secure, stable web based/browsing and CAE/400 access to our iSeries applications. Our organinization is a large medical facility supporting over 100 physicians onsite, and it will also require additional support for multiple (30+) remote locations. I would like to provide support to users via browsers for 5250 apps (something along the lines of CGIDEV2 perhaps?), along with the iSeries developers who will be using traditional CAE/400 5250 to do development (some code/400 users too), remote support and testing, as well as access the apps too. We have two iSeries, one for production and one for development - the development system is also our production Domino email server. Our iSeries apps are a mix of old Sys/38 code, some RPG/400 and a lot of newly developed & deployed ILE RPG using embedded SQL with bound modules, prototyped procedures, subprocedures and so forth (with activation groups of *CALLER). To my knowledge, webfacing is not a practical solution at this point due to the nature of our heavily influenced ILE applications, which will most likely be the majority of applications to be accessed. My first step will be to utilize VPN to access our Novell Network thereby providing the link to two iSeries systems. My first goal is to establish the VPN connections and ensure that they are stable and totally secure to both the iSeries. The next step will be to provide secured telnet 5250 access to both systems to the developers. Once this is established, stable, and secure, we will then determine which apps to web-enable and choose the method to achieve web-enablement based on the underlying nature of the chosen app(s). I'm not sure what Websphere has to offer in terms of support for this project, only because I have limited resources ($$$ and bodies), and also little time to devote to Websphere & Java type training. For the most part, this is being done as "proof of concept" for upper management. Most likely I will be doing most of the work here too. I'm only looking for the 30,000 ft overview. Comments and general directions and suggetions will be greatly appreciated. This can be taken offline if anyone cares to go much deeper into this than is practical here.

Whoever wrote the cover letter has it backwards. Immediate does not require IPL while delayed does. Unless your immediate ptf had some prerequisites which were delayed.

I think this is right. There is probably something that needs an IPL to finish the apply of the PTF. If applied immediate, you need to explicitly IPL. If delayed, the next (maybe scheduled) IPL does everything. Admittedly, it reads a bit strange. A google over site:ibm.com found only 4 cover letters with this wording - 2 each for V4R4 and V5R1.

A typical iSeries application will consist of between 30-60% batch programs and the normal record and playback tools will hardly touch the surface when testing these. Areas and conditions that we feel should be tested include: 1. Parameters that are passed during the execution 2. Data Queues 3. The chronological updates of the database of each and every part of the test - not just the beginning and the end. 4. Set data rules for the program and check these have been complied with. Another feature of the products is to be able to extract and protect the test data so a smaller version of the database can be used and either rolled back to a checkpoint when an error has been fixed and test again, or to start from the same staring point when rerunning the test. This greatly reduces time preparing test data, and is relevant to Batch testing as well as Interactive testing Please contact me off-list of you require any further information or have any questions.

Moreover it gives you also the possibility to enhance your printout with E-Form (as an option).
