Here! Here! David Shea! -----Original Message----- From: Randy Smith [mailto:Randy_Smith@omron.com] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 1999 8:56 AM To: JBAUSERS-L@midrange.com Subject: Re: Recovering Sessions I know of a company who has spent more than $20,000,000 on JBA to purchase, enhance, and get JBA to include in their STANDARD package good features, some of them specifically involving commitment control. At this point, sorry, not available, although the development people certainly understand the nature and value of the request. I'd heard that there was a future promise of commitment control within some transaction sets, although not all promises from JBA have born fruit. Anyone know when 3.6 will be coming out? (CA or GA). From: David Shea All this discussion about manually recovering from program abends and power failures and other interrupted transactions..... I feel a soap box speech coming on.... The _right_ way to do this is with journaling and commitment control. It continues to astound me that nearly all the application vendors that get paid a lot of money from a lot of customers don't build this in. I used to run a MACPAC shop, and while it was often missing the bells and whistles, it had the fundamentals right. I ran MACPAC on a B45 with no UPS (!) in an area with power problems. The CFO didn't want to spend the $10K until one of his reports got delayed by a ten second power outage followed by an 8 hour logical file rebuild. MACPAC did have full journaling and commitment control, so when any transaction failed, it automatically backed itself out. I _never_ had to go poking around trying to finish half posted transactions, and I _never, EVER_ went poking around with DFU, DBU or something similar. Since I was running the vanilla software and I never did any DFU-ing, any time the system had a problem I knew EXACTLY whose fault it was.... I ran that system for 8 years for a hundred million dollar business across several countries and even the GL detail files _still_ balanced and rolled up. Assets still equalled liabilities plus owner's equity. A statistical miracle. So far, none of the other canned packages I've run across do commitment control out of the box, and to say it's a bear to implement would be an understatement. BUT - this is what the software vendors are supposed to do for you, the customer. That's why they get paid the big bucks for these systems. Has JBA ever considered adding this feature? Has the user community ever requested it? Many people will voice concerns over performance degradation with journaling. In my opinion, don't worry about performance. I ran that B45 for about 50 people running MRP, distribution, and financials with no problem. Given that today's boxes are about 100 time faster.... no sweat. Just my opinion....
