Re: How many of you will stay at V7R5 lower due to SDA removal ?

You sound similar to the 5250 programmer saying I'd rather stick with SEU/SDA because it's what I know :)

The Open-Source stuff adds a small amount of complexity, but you can automate most of the open-source setup as well these days, so it doesn't have to be a chore. 

And app tools and utilities are SOOOOOOOOOOO much easier to write in a language other than RPG these days. 

Not that RPG is bad, but there are more flavors than just vanilla. 

PS: The ILEAstic app server is pretty nice if you want to stick with RPG stuff, but then again CGI still works as well.

	removal ?

Let me expand... I'd rather set up an apache server for a customer than have to rely on them having any open source stuff installed.

For other apps that I've required one, setup just asks "what's your ip and port you want to use?" and sets up everything for them.

Of course, I often get the email "what do you mean, ip address and port?"

Do I really want to ask "do you have open source and YUM installed?"  Not really.  :)
