Over the weekend we moved from Intel/SQL 7.0 environments to an AS/400.
(this is not a discussion of which platform is better, please)
There was a lot of prep work laid out ~ some very long hours ~ but the
transfer has gone pretty fluid for our implementation staff (we are not
live, but preparing for go-live during the summer and fall ~ we are at
configuration & testing)... BIG KUDOS for our internal staff reading the
list, as well as toward our IBM and JDE consultants (job well done!).
Sincerely, for any of those reading the list that worked on the J.R. Simplot
migration to 400 ~ BIG THANKS!
<Slight deviation from praise inserted here>
Almost immediately some of our users showed enormous concern. In the MS SQL
environments we had Case-In-Sensitivity. On the AS/400 we have Case
Sensitivity...
I realize the reasons for Case ~ I am a programmer type and do see the world
in black and white... I'd prefer a world of black and white... But my job
is to make my users happy (spelt with a smile). <outside the six walls of
my cubicle I am a photographer ~ I see the world in 63 million colors when I
am permitted to escape>
There are lots of ways within JDE to make the database appear
Case-In-Sensitive. For those that have faced this issue(winners & losers),
can you provide any recommendations? Experiences? Suggestions?
So, how do I make my users happy with Case-Sensitivity?
