Re: Terminal server..

Lot of pearls there Pete.

The virtual lan capability cannot be used on the Citrix servers.  Some 
strange incompatibility.  Therefore you lose that big boost of performance 
that data integration between IXS data and OS/400 data would benefit from. 
 Net people still like it on the IXS cards though.  We've done some saves, 
restores, and total unload/reloads and they think the IXS ain't bad.

I'm not impressed with PASE.  What benefit is there to running the 
application you mentioned in PASE versus a linux partition or some other 
dedicated box?  I don't see any data integration.  What soured me on PASE 
was the PASE based version of TSM.  Apparently the PASE tape API's are 
only capable of driving our 3582's at 1/3rd the speed of native OS/400 
commands.  And IBM flat out says it's the tape pase api's.  So bad they've 
abandoned any OS/400 based, (pase or otherwise) version of TSM and suggest 
you throw up a Linux partition.

Re: Terminal server..






We did this with an earlier model of AS/400 (a model 270 with an 800Mhz 
IPCS) It worked well but we didn't see an inherent advantage to having 
the "integration" of the IPCS.  If you have apps that use something like 
MS Access or other apps that are moving a lot of data to/from the 
iSeries, the "integrated" approach is great because of the virtual lan 
connection between the x-server and iSeries is fast, otherwise, we 
didn't have a compelling reason to continue down that path.

However, as I understand it, the cross-management capabilities have 
improved. 

We are looking at using VNC in the PASE environment to serve up 
X-Windows desktops that do just 5250 and web browsing. In that 
environment, everything runs on the iSeries with no other hardware 
required.  Most X-Windows clients are supported.
