RE: TimeShare/400 - space on an i series.

Yep, very different here. We only have 3 devs (private mfg comp.).
Granted, we just got a new box a few months ago. But we are only using
25% of DASD and probably won't hit 80% on this machine in the next 5 years
like we did with the last one. So we have lots of space. Heck, I've made
special copies of our item master file and others that have hundreds of
thousands of records without worry. Fat, dumb, and happy right now :D

RE: TimeShare/400 - space on an i series.






I do where I work now... However, that development box supports three
production servers, so DASD on this partition is always in short supply.
Limited resources (and concern for the availability of the development
server) make casual installation of software a no-no. Is it really so
different elsewhere?

You don't have Dev/Test environments?

We have three - V5R3 (Test only), V5R4 (Current product), V6R1 (next
product), V7R1 (technical testing).

And i work for a 35 people shop.
