Re: 5250 to Web Interface / Application Modernization

OLTP On Line Transaction Processing. With the power of a IBM i you can
move most or all of the "batch processing nightly close" to do it in
each transaction, either in a service program or in triggers.  The i has
also power enough to do the web serving, so using it just as a DB is a
waste.

Some people argue that is a waste to use the i to do something that a
Linux server can also do well, but unless your i is running near 100%
CPU serving web pages will use the idle cycles, cheaper than an cheap
extra server, and far more reliable and easy for administration.

Well, it's really more than that. I'm just referring to how it fits into
the user visibility chain. They don't need to know the intricacies of batch
processing the nightly close, which is sorta what IBM i does so great in
the classic sense. We're talking about how to shlep data to users, and we
agree that the way is to let IBM i be the data server and put the Web
presentation layer elsewhere. I've diagrammed this on the-i-doctor.com
