RE: JBA ML - Other-Worldly upgrade

Many different System/21 sites use worlds. If you set it up properly then
the two (or three or more) different worlds work completely independently.
To successfully implement and control it is a very good idea to understand
the workings and structure of System/21.

I am told that GEAC doesn't support "worlds", and they were sort of created
by
someone inside of GEAC, but never actually incorporated into the product.

I was warned by someone at GEAC not to use them because of the support
issue.

Worlds sounds like a great idea, but the lack of support is pretty scary.

The biggest problem with not using the "worlds" concept, is that the system
files are shared with each enviroment you may create, as in a test
enviroment,
or a training enviroment.  Sometimes you are forced to bring down the Live
enviroment in order to do certain system functions in the other enviroments.

Since you already have "worlds", you may just have to deal with them on an
ongoing basis.
