Re: Which one of perform CPU wise.

Anyone using MDREST4i? Our architects are replacing as400 tables with cloud
based tables qnd are asking us to do CRUD operations on them using REST
services. Its becoming a challenge to keep the performance as good
as possible. So performance is the key for us.

Strictly from a performance point of view, you “might” get better
performance from the HTTPAPI method, but I doubt it will make much
difference except at extremely heavy loads. Either way you need to keep
things up to date, and with the SQL option, if you run into trouble you can
call IBM. The YAJL method requires the crowd support from forums like this
one, and Scott’s attention.

I guess my take is use the tool you are most familiar with, definitely use
ILE to its full advantage, stored procedures and the like. Use the
performance tools as you are developing to set benchmarks so when you get
to full production you have some idea where things are.

Then there is the work management side of the equation, mostly memory
management. Be sure to use memory storage pools and subsystem definitions
that are built for your environment. IBM’s supplied scheme works, every
time, but it’s not as efficient in all circumstances as it could be. That’s
why they gave use tooling to manage it.

So, it’s IBM’s favorite (and correct) answer: It Depends.

Comparison
HTTPAPI / YAJL
• Easy to use, performs very well
• Full-featured, offers capabilities that none of the others do
• Requires you to download/install 3rd party software

SQL Functions in QSYS2
• Easy to use, performs very well
• Has most needed features; missing multipart; missing error details
• Included with OS, nothing to install -- but need to be up-to-date
