Hi Walden Ah... was that originally RDARS/On Demand ? It;s always been an odd beastie :)I guess I can agree with you to a point here. Do any of these things take a machine down or do they rather make the application unusable ? Does the installation and management of the environments remain consistent ?
Steve's comment implied (to me anyway) the machine overall - including the environments you also noted are rock solid - was somehow deteriorating, which is simply not true. Working with these newer applications it is comforting to know that the older parts of the system rather than being "legacy" are in fact reliable and dependable and I do not need to go back and revisit them when things are misbehaving (or at least very rarely)

"Classic" iSeries is just as stable as ever -- classic meaning RPG/Cobol/CL/DDS/etc. However, as new functionality is rolled onto the box via java, PASE, linux, etc, so are new problems and bugs. I can tell you, the "new and improved" Content Manager for iSeries (replacement for WAF) is neither solid nor consistent -- at least not with 8 million documents -- it's actually undeployable. Also, look at Bleddyn's comments in Ignite about ND and load balancing on iSeries, again, problems configuring what should be simple applications. What has always made the iSeries so rock solid and given it it's low TCO was the integration. Now as things are ported to iSeries via PASE, Java and AIX/Linux we're left with int, teg, and ration -- not quite as useful. -Walden
