Moving Central Objects to AS400

[BWindham]

I would appreciate any comments from those that have moved CO from the
deployment server onto the AS400. Pros/Cons, pkg build times ect..

Thanks

Hi Bryan,

I have found the builds to be slower when Central Objects live on the AS/400.

JDE had to kludge the way they handle BLOB fields on DB/400. IBM initially only supported BLOB sizes of 64K. OneWorld is storing each BLOB as a series of chunks that span multiple records. The OneWorld middleware reconstitutes these chunks behind the scenes when an object is retrieved.

The fastest package builds I have seen so far have been using a medium spec NT/SQL Server box with a decent multi-channel RAID controller to host the Central Objects.

Regards,

All I can tell you is our Central Objects started on the AS/400.

As far as pkg build times it is totaly relitive to your hardware.

For a server package I have heard from 4 to 14 hours depending on your
processor.

I am on a model 720 single way and I do a combo package in about 12 to 13
hours. That would be your worst case.

I'm currently trying to do this.
ESUs and package builds work just fine with CO on SQL Server on the Deployment
Server. ESUs with CO on the AS400 I get
"EventRule : Business Function AddCumObject at line 17 for Event 13 in Section Merge
Specs has caused a memory violation. "
Should I would repoint the OCM mapping for just 1 environment and see how a single
ESU and its package build is before promising anything.
