RE: DPROP: RIP (second call)

["Paul Nelson" <nelsonp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd avoid that one like the plague. IBM used to own that product, and
unloaded it on Rocket.

For whatever reason, IBM is under some sort of contract to support the
product, and they really do a poor job of problem resolution.

One of my clients has continuing issues with replication and data extract
links going into a coma, and it takes IBM/Rocket days and even weeks to
respond. When they do, it's usually an answer like "Bounce the subsystems on
the iSeries, and bounce the server doing the extracts."
