Re: R78 Client Install

[Kevin.Gerard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

   I think by locally attached they mean are you connected to the network via
   VPN remotely (vs. being on-site where the iSeries is hosted).
   I've seen it take 6 hours on installs to remote clients in China or India
   for example. 1 Hours is unusually. Usually for VPN connections it's about
   20 minutes on average from my experience.

   Locally it should take 1 or 2 minutes.

     Subject: [MAPICS-L] R78 Client Install

     Hello All,

     I have been working to install the R78 Client software. The process is
     part of the R78 Install/upgrade procedure announced and made available
     in June. The green screen server installation and upgrade to PCM 09955
     went pretty well. I have not tried the data migration yet.

     I am struggling with the Client Install. The last time I ran the Client
     install, it ran for over 8 hours before it failed. I am being told by
     Infor the install will "run for a long time unless I have a locally
     attached PC." I'm not sure what is meant by  "locally attached PC". I am
     installing to an iSeries  Model 570.

     The main reason I have been given for the installation length of time is
     due to the large amount of data being transferred and installed on the
     IFS. I am also being told bandwidth and network latency are also
     contributing to the length of time required.  From my previous
     experiences and tracking the installation, I can see what has been
     installed. Unfortunately, I can't see the finish line. It sounds like
     the good-old "This may take some time" message.

     Because of the change in the installation process, the install must be
     done from a PC. You cannot insert an install CD/DVD into the iSeries and
     install from there.

     Has anyone experienced the same lengths-of-time associated to the
     installation? Are there any suggestions I can try to help with the
     process?

     Thank You,
