Good day folks,
I have been assigned the task of investigating a migration plan from a Windows 2K/TS/SQL2K to an AS400. I have never worked with an AS400. Any help is much appreciated.
We are currently using OW XE Update 7 with SP22 applied, with 5 Win2k Terminal Servers (no Citrix) and the database on SQL2K SP3. We currently have 300 users, but will have 500 users using a mix of Distribution (250 users), Financials(220 users) and Maufacturing (30 users). We expect to produce up to 1500 invoices (R42565) daily. This report is our performance benchmark which takes on average 12 seconds per report.
The enterprise server we are using are Quad Xeon 700Mhz/8GB memory. The SQL server has the same specs as the Ent server.
The database size is 55GB and grows at 30GB per year.
We are constantly developing new apps in JDE as we service around 40 companies. We have regular package builds.
Questions:
How do we maximise availability of the AS400?
Can we keep a mixed Win2K TS mode with the AS400 as the JDE foundation/Websphere costs additional bucks. If possible possible we would like to keep the Terminal Server/fat client setup.
Do developers need to learn new skills?
What skills would the CNC team need?
How much time would a migration of this sort take?
Do the application consultants need additional skills?
Any additional things to look out for?
Thanks
