RE: OS V4R5 -- SYSTEM21

We have a 620/2179 with 1GB RAM (we originally purchased 512mb even though
JBA said we only needed 256mb) and typically run about 20 - 30 concurrent
interactive users.  We're getting ready to upgrade from V4r2 to V4r4 in the
next couple weeks.  Arthur, your comments about a significant performance
decrease are of some concern.  Anyone else experience this, and if so what
is your configuration?

Arthur,

The 384MB seems very low to me.  I was responsible for JBA on model 6xx and
7xx including a 2179.  We ran the max of 2GB and never experienced
performance problems outside of a couple of poorly written applications.  I
actually disregarded the JBA recommendation and went to the max.  Some of
the problems today are due to the fact that data has grown over the past
three years of use.  We moved the 2180 from V4R1 to V4R4 and did not see any
performance drop.

We had the same experience, DSPFLD problem after V4R4M0 upgrade form V4R2M0.

We have also been experiencing greatly decreased performance. We have a
9406/620/2179 with 384 MB of memory (128MB more than JBA recommended). We
have been told, recently, that we should have a minimum of 2GB to run
efficiently. The degradation, since the upgrade, seems to be in batch jobs.
Overall performance has never been terrific in any area.

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience in performance issues from V4R2
to V4R4?
