We are considering a few changes to our environment when we go to Xe, and
are wondering if anyone has any experience with them.
1) Central Objects on the AS/400
Currently, our central objects are in an Oracle database on our deployment
server (NT). If we move these to the AS/400, does that then eliminate the
need for an Oracle client on the OneWorld client? What should we expect
as a performance impact from doing this? Am I right that we still need an
NT deployment server if we do this?
2) IXS as deployment server - we are considering replacing our aging NT
deployment server with an Integrated xSeries (Netfinity) Server on the
AS/400 - basically an Intel motherboard on a card that sits in the AS/400
and uses AS/400 disk. We've heard that this can be a more stable
implementation of NT, is faster (at least in the lab) for OneWorld, has
greater manageability of backups and greater flexibility for copying the
disk (for testing or a "hot spare").
Of course, we are hearing this from IBM sources. Does anyone out there
have experience with a deployment server on an integrated NT server card
on an AS/400 / iSeries/400?
Thank you!
