Re: IBM i Access for Web vs IBM Navigator for i

We have a System i 520 with 2gb memory. I would use the web navigator more
often, but it is horrifically slow. When I click "Log in" it is literally
45-60 seconds until it comes up. Is that because we only have 2gb memory?

The web interface is a great improvement. I think IBM should put all the
team to improve it, leaving the old navegator alone. I'm sure userd
will go to the web without need to be forced, like happened between the
green screen and the graphical but prone to problems and hard to support
navegator.

Rob,

Most definitely.

Just as when Navigator for i "replaced" the green screen, IBM has

announced that the functionality of Navigator for i is now frozen. There
are already things popping up in the web console that are not supported in
any other way. A customer of mine recently pointed out a new option in the
Advanced Job Scheduler that only exists in the web console version.

I also prefer the ability to access the system using a browser from

anywhere. Although it has not happened yet, I fantasize about fixing a
system problem from an Internet cafe in Paris. To save further posts from
those who know me well, I'll admit that the fantasy here is me fixing a
system problem, not visiting Paris.

Cheers,
