RE: Slow Web Admin

Hi Ricky,

The issues you encountered were part of the stimulus for us to write an
alternative, aXes. All your applications can be web enabled after a short
RSTLICPGM, that's it! Will run well on 170 and all other low end hardware and
scale with top end gear (V4R4 up). It optionally supports IBM HTTP server as
well. Could be more cost effective than buying Brad's book :-/

| Thanks guys..  I was just playing around with webfacing a few 
| programs and it's taken me about 3 hours to do one very small 
| program.  I finally got the application installed and now I'm 
| running it for the first time off the AS/400.  It takes it 
| almost 10 mins to load the Web Faced App.  Does anyone 
| actually use webfacing for a viable option.  Do you have to 
| have 12-way processor to get suitable results.  Boy I guess I 
| better go buy Brad Stone's book.  Long live CGIDEV2 :)
| 
| Thanks again guys.

| Ricky,
| 
| We also have a 720 with 1 gig of memory and it's dog slow 
| (especially the first time you use it). Installing JDK 1.4 
| with the latest group PTF's will help some but chances are 
| you're either paging like crazy or you have enough going on 
| that it's CPU bound (you'll need to do some investigation to 
| see where your problems are). The 8xx and newer hardware runs 
| Java much better (the admin GUI for the Apache servers are 
| Java based) so short of buying a new box, your best bet for 
| managing the HTTP servers is probably going to be from the 
| command line. About the only things you can't do from the 
| command line are create new HTTP servers (not entirely true 
| but it's not documented and there's a lot of configuration 
| you need to do manually) and manage certificates.
