We are looking to add a Windows App Server to an existing AS400 Xe installation to handle certain business functions.
We are mostly terminal server but have some users, mostly employee self service, using the web client and have two load-balanced Windows 2003 servers running Websphere
My 2 questions are:
1. Is it common and/or advisable to run a Windows App server on the same box as one running Websphere? I know it’s not all that uncommon to run Websphere on an AS400 that is also the enterprise server, but I haven’t heard about a similar situation in Windows. I already have such a setup in dev and it appears to work OK, but that ain't prod.
2. Can I build a package on one Windows app server and “re-use” that build on another identical (or very similar) Windows app server?
Thanks for any input.
Xe Update 7+
AS400 Enterprise server, V5R3, SP23_K1
Citrix Terminal Server for most users
Windows 2003 running WAS50
