Re: 5250 open Query weirdness....

We think we discovered the problem(s)

First we dumped the Oracle Java 8 in favor of the IBM JDK.
Second we went to 32 bit vs. the 64 bit version, we did not test the 64 bit
after this started working.

Citrix
IBM JDK 8 32bit
ACS 1.1.8/0 (build 8250)

Performance is back to what we expect. So we believe based on our
experience that the Oracle Java 8 in the 64bit was the root cause of the
problem.

Start up time is good on the sessions and all the other goodness of ACS is
now available where as the other emulators left quite a bit to be desired.
(Rocket's $72/user for two years and $12/year thereafter vs. Free for ACS
or $299 for a site license for Mocha drove them out of contention really
quickly, although it did work properly)

to eliminate the 5250 part can you submit to batch and output(*print)?
curious the timing that way.

other emulators:
tn5250 https://sourceforge.net/projects/tn5250/
vb5250 https://sourceforge.net/projects/vb5250/
telnet400 http://www.albertyork.yolasite.com/samples.php


heck even try the 5250 that is in the *admin web server
(+) System
(+) Emulation
<5250>


ACS does have a trace option that IBM would need if you went the PMR way

Mark,

We've done that too. So from a window desktop we've used Mocha, ACS,
PuTTY, and Rocket's 5250 Emulator. Rockets emulator works but is
fabulously expensive.

We sign on with the same user and try all of these environment and PuTTY
and Rocket's emulators perform well, ACS and Mocha do not.

I checked the QINTER subsystem thinking maybe there was a workstation
entry, routing program or class difference, nope no differences there.

I'm flummoxed.
