Re: [WEB400] Upgrading to V5R1

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The latest CUM has been ordered.  But, I still have two
problems.

1.  If I test with the latest CUM and performance is no
better (or only slightly better), then there's the "you must
not have installed the correct PTF(s)" excuse.

I don't want this to be an issue, and I'm sure others don't
as well.  I really want pbA CGI performance to be on par
with Classic.

2.  I find it hard to believe IBM can't load test a web
server.

I searched the cover letters you mention earlier.  There
were quite a few for V5R1 and pbA server.  I had thought
that you said the developer said there were specific PTFs
that increased the performance.  Maybe I read it wrong.  I
can understand if the developer doesn't know which PTF his
fix gets applied to, so we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for your assistance, Mel.
