Re: iTera - Echo 2 Training input. -- MIDRANGE-L

Jake,

After reading this expanded description of your two guys, I would say that 
your Win guy will be an adequate choice.  As another responder said, he 
will probably be a System i convert in a short time!

Ron, Al;
Thanks a lot for the responses. I appreciate it. The RPG guy is not very
interested in going and we are just taking volunteers but the Win guy is
very interested in going. He does know quite a bit about remote

journaling

as compared to the RPG guy. I want the RPG guy to go but he is a senior
member of our team and we cannot be coercive with him...:). The Win guy

does

not know any RPG programming but knows all our PF's and dB structure

pretty

well and has good knowledge about remote journaling. We are at a catch

right now but I really appreciate your input and that is what I was

exactly

looking for.

Thanks again,

Jake.

I would concur with Al.  I have been to the iTera training.  Anyone

who

does not have a good understanding of the System i, it's command, and

it's

architecture would probably be very lost.  There is absolutely no
knowledge of the windows necessary for using Echo2.

In your case, I would definitely opt for the RPG programmer.  He/she
should have no problem at all with understanding and learning the

Echo2

software.

By the way, the iTera training is some of the best I have ever seen in
over 30 years in this business.

I've never been to iTera training, although I am a Lakeview/MIMIX BP.

suspect that a Win Environment person is the wrong person.

The likely candidate needs to know the System i, with a reasonable
knowledge of journaling and database.

Good morning Pro's,
We have a dilemma this morning and hopefully I can get some input from

the

pro's which could point us in the right direction. I was wondering if
anybody has attended the iTera training in Salt Lake City, UT. We are
trying
to send two personnel for the training and were wondering who would be

good fit for the training. Does the trainee need to be very well

versed

with
System i or just need to have good amount of knowledge about the

libraries

and files.

    My first choice is a totally Win environment guy who barely uses
System
i. He just uses the DB2 to retrieve, update data. He has all the

knowledge

about the libraries and files on our system. Our second choice is a

RPG

programmer and he has no knowledge about Win environment whatsover. He
knows
our System i very well though. The second guy would be our Network

Admin

so
we are good there.

    So, I was wondering if anybody had attended the training? If so,

any

kind of input would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jake.
