RE: Lansa/MRC Users

Hello Jill, 

Thanks for the reply. 

If we choose Lansa we would use their green screen generator and the Lansa 
for the web product. 

The Lansa for the Web product can apparently generate to all the right 
platforms, but we have no hands on with it yet. 

My biggest concerns with Lansa are being locked in to their runtime 
environment and also being able to find experienced developers if I need 
coders. 

I guess we have to weigh that against the productivity gains we can 
potentially get with Lansa. 

Have a happy 4th of July.

Richard,

What part of Lansa are you looking to use?  Currently, we have Lansa for
iSeries and Integrator that we've used to process XML transactions 
received
from a business partner through a W2000 server, so part of it runs on the
iSeries and part runs on the PC server.  We also have Lansa for the Web 
that
we are just getting ready to use to build our web site, again through a PC
server.  We had the original XML work done by a consultant, but I've since
taken the Integrator course.  It's fairly easy to use, but, unfortunately,
haven't had a chance since then.  Since the system was installed haven't 
had
any problems with it, so it very reliable.  We'll probably have a 
consultant
do the initial web set up also.  The only thing I would change is we would
have purchased Visual Lansa (PC based version) instead of the Lansa for
iSeries (green screen version) but we can make do.

Haven't used MRC, so can't comment.
