RE: Node.JS

Pretty much. He'd also stab himself in the eyes before disagreeing with his
boss.

They've got a real fiasco going now, and are planning a scratch rebuild of
one of the partitions instead of following the recommendations they paid
Rochester to make last spring about performance issues.

Their problems are programming related, but the programmers are a protected
species there.

On top of that, the FTE was caught in a lie today by the Mimix rep. The FTE
claimed that there was never a need to revert back to 6.1 after they had
performance problems after the 7.1 upgrade back in 2011. The Mimix guy said,
"That's odd. I'm a pack rat, and I'm looking at the receipt for the plane
ticket when you flew me down there to do the reload." He then proceeded to
remind everyone about a rogue programmer slipping a couple of programs into
the mix during the OS upgrade. Instead of the programmer being fired, the
iSeries guys were sent packing.

I'm glad I'm not on call for them this week.

Does he use the phrase "risk to the business" in every second or third
sentence ... ?

27 physical boxes in 5 different cities. Most have at least 3 partitions,
except for the lonely 170 that is stuck at V4R5 supporting a 3995 optical
disk device for an imaging application that the EPA requires.

The client's FTE keeps the customer numbers under lock and key. I guess it
makes him feel important. The stories I could tell about him would fill up
the bandwidth here, but suffice it to say that the folks at IBM laugh
their
heads off when I relate some of the ridiculous things he comes up with.
For
example, tomorrow night, one box needs to have 5 cache batteries replaced.
This guy is demanding that the CE also bring along at least 2 disk
controller cards and some memory chips, along with the locations in Texas
where these same part numbers can be found in the event of an emergency.

I've given up arguing with him. He was a project manager for IBM Global
Solutions for 18 years before he came to this client. He's not the least
bit
technical. He just gives good spreadsheets and powerpoints, if you know
what
I mean.

Paul,

There's these things called "computers"...
Just picking on you. But all out of love buddy.

I tend to know my customer number. Granted it changed at some time but I
do keep them both recorded. And I have them documented, along with make,
model, and serial number of each piece of equipment. Just in case someone
other than me has to call in support.
I open enough PMR's electronically that there's no way I'll ever forget my
user id and password (save but for the intervention of God). Instead of
relying upon tricks, like calling in at certain hours in order to get
one's favored geographical region, I just open PMR's electronically.
I often order PTFs on media using the web interface.
I'm just an end customer but I can usually stumble my way around ESS. The
only trick there is remembering how to drill all the way down to find
stuff like Access Client Solutions. Perhaps you're running into issues
where you have multiple make/model/SerialNumbers of processors and picking
the best one that has such and such version of OS, and the right LPP's, on
it. Yeah, that can be a bit of a trick.

I will admit, when I open a ticket electronically and I get a call from
"entitlement" and then ask me how I am doing I always reply "lousy, I'm
talking to entitlement instead of a technician".
Oh well, it's better than when I get a cold call that asks me how I'm
doing and I go into great details about biological functions.

I know. The trick is to register the customer number to get there. Only
the
BP knows for sure which one to use.

Paul,

Should be no charge.
Make sure you RSTLICPGM, base, options 1 thru 4, so all PTFs later get
applied.

5733OPS *BASE IBM i Open Source Solutions
5733OPS 1 IBM i Open Source Solutions Option 1
5733OPS 2 IBM i Open Source Solutions Option 2
5733OPS 3 IBM i Open Source Solutions Option 3
5733OPS 4 IBM i Open Source Solutions Option 4

now a developer is asking about it.

Is there a fee for the LPP called 5733OPS?
