RE: Ownership won't agree to an upgrade

From: Nathan Andelin

But I understand that legacy IBM i applications can't be restricted to HTTP interfaces - that would require a significant migration effort.

Correct. My lonely one-man shop would require outside assistance for such a migration, and that again costs too much money.

You also indicated that Oracle's license transfer fees were a problem.
Someone should come up with an economical IBM i-based migration path for JDE World databases.

Actually, Oracle doesn't charge any transfer fee for JDE World, so they aren't the problem. It's Trusted Link EDI that's gouging us on that fee - $2200 if we buy our own new P05, or $8200 if we migrate to a hosted P20 box. I know those numbers sound small to the rest of you, but to my boss and this company, those amounts are not insignificant. Not to mention that I think it's just downright unethical that OpenText charges those amounts for essentially doing nothing.
