Re: No more 3rd Gen COM in 6.1?

[Skip Williams <skipwilliams@xxxxxxxxx>]

The DFS COM (Fat Client) is definitely RIP in eBPCS, i.e. v.6.0.1. 
COM is ONLY available in a standard 5250-type application on Mixed Mode
AS/400, and in and OPS, Thin-client version for Full Client/Server AS/400
and Unix.   This allows eBPCS clients to use the ODW toolset to
do any needed modifications to COM themselves.  It also simplifies
the amount of network traffic for order entry.

As for CEA, it and OLM still remain as DFS applications. They have NOT
been rearchitected.
