Hello all,

We are supposed to transfer from AS400 to Oracle mid next year, this I found 
out about 2-3 months ago, as yet we have not even started looking at doing this 
so I somehow do not think that goal will be achieved, however going on past 
experience I do not think that this will stop the management pushing to meet 
that date, difficult as there is only me and one other to do this and we also 
are still doing development on the AS400, seems a bit silly to me.

It would make an interesting list to see a listing of companies, date of
decision to go to Oracle, budgeted amount, spent to date, and current status




I believe it must be hard to find even one as/400 to Oracle conversion that
has met its original design goals.  Finding one at under 200% of budget must
be even harder.  



I have been involved with two such conversions, and the last I knew the
first conversion petered out, and the seconfd one has redefined its goal to 
what works right now was what we wanted in the first place"

I've got a client that is 5 years, 8 extra staff and almost 10 million

bucks into a project to move from the 400 to the Oracle platform.

Management is rethinking its decision, as the things that were missing on

the 400 to prompt the move are now there in the OS. Apparently my preaching

has finally reached the right ears.

Have any of you moved all of your apps AND data off the AS/400 on to an

SQL server and then moved back to the AS/400 (at least for data) or

really wished you could?

 

Looks like we are not only moving the apps to the dotnet world but also

our data.

 

Should I be scared silly??

Any horror stories?

 

Thanks - I think.
