Re: System 36 and Machine 36

Hi,

I do not look in to this old server as it is managed by another guy in company, but the migration came to me. According to my colleague its in v4r3 and having tcp card and he specially mention that its running on M/36 (as I know it's a 150 box)

Or my next option is let the current system run as it is and rewrite everything in new box and migrate data to DB2 files and let them use new application.  

Thanking you
