Unfortunately, some folks idea of a plan is an updated resume.... -----Original Message----- From: Dan Thomas [SMTP:dthomas@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 6:28 PM To: 'System 21 Users' Subject: RE: [SYSTEM21] JBA Reporting Our AS/400 hasn't gone down since it was purchased in 1997. However, it is nice to be able to tell someone you have a plan in case it ever does go down. In fact, in our business it is a requirement to have a plan.

We have not had one since this machine was installed in early 1998...!!! That's one of the many reasons I love the AS/400 (And I'll always call it that...!!!)... I've never gotten a BSOD on the AS/400... Could you imagine what would happen if you had to reboot your AS/400 every other day for no good reason...?! It just makes me smile whenever I see some one say, "if your AS/400 ever goes down."...!!!

Our queries are web Active Server Pages and MS Access. We do have a low end AS/400 (620-2179), but that increase was with a moderately configured SQL Server box (1 ghz Xeon). We are ordering a new AS/400 810-2466 and a new SQL Server. I'll post performance comparisons when both new boxes are installed. I expect the differences to be less pronounced, but still significant. The nice thing about this setup is that you can optimize the SQL Server box for queries. It also provides a nice standby system (i.e. stock locations) if your AS/400 ever goes down. You can set up Transformation server to send data to multiple SQL Server boxes if your needs dictate. One thing to keep in mind is that Transformation server is going to want a unique key for each file. This is a real challenge for many of the JBA files. Biggest problems we have run into is INP95, PMP09 and CRP09.
