I meant to put this last comment on my other email about duplicating data.
 sorry.

Oh, and all these systems are in the same room with gigabit ethernet and a
high speed switch.

Konrad,

You were saying that when interactive got high than batch suffered also? I
think they 'improved' the governor in future releases.  Now it should only
kill other interactive jobs, and not harm batch jobs.

Andy,

Thanks for clarifying the differing load types. We
are pretty much the classic ERP shop with heavy green
screen using a 620-2179 85cpw machine. Interactive
performance is pretty good, batch is very slow when
interactive saturates the CPU. Alot of the saturation
is due to queries and plain bad programming practices
that the ERP vendor has made (Synon 2E code!) and
tortured joins. The vendor is moving to a more client
oriented architecture but to support the legacy database
there is a substantial batch and SQL ODBC query component
(ie twice the amount of work for the same transaction).

So we have a problem that alot of the traditonal AS/400
users have faced while upgrading. Interactive CPW costs
$$$ but we still need it. Batch CPW is needed for the
increasing web and client activity. Increasing machine
capacities with the new higher performance boxes results
in tier charges on the ERP side in excess of the machine
upgrade cost.

It seems like the 270-2434 (1520) is a good match with alot
of top end performance enhancement for us, getting there is
the problem! Hopefully someday someone will find a magic
software licensing plan that enables rather than hinders
customers, the current mode with everyone trying to make
as much as they can promotes inertia.

Thanks again!

Konrad

PS We hope to never experience the joys of Domino or Websphere!
