Hello All,
Our company is planning to upgrade JDE 8.10 to 9.0. Following is the detail:
Current Configuration:
JDE Release: 8.10/8.96.3.1
E1 Servers: 3x PA-RISC HP-UX 11.11. First server is PD Batch, second is PD App and third one is DV/PY App+Batch
Database Servers: 2x PA-RISC HP-UX 11.11. One for PD database also holding System Path Code and second for PY/DV database.
Total Users: 600.
Concurrent Users: 150.
Our plan is to upgrade JDE to 9.0/8.98x. Our current version of UNIX (11v1) is not supported with 8.98. So we have to perform OS upgrade before JDE/Tool upgrade. Our lease to HP PA-RISC is also expiring in 2010. So it makes sense to upgrade the hardware along with JDE upgrade. PA-RISC is end of life product and we have no option other than to move different platform.
First choice is to move to HP Itanium platform. Database migration to Itanium from PA-RISC looks straight forward. But our current release of JDE (8.10) is not supported on Itanium. So not sure what would be the upgrade strategy…
Second thought is to move existing E1 servers to Windows environment and leave database running on UNIX. I believe database migration from UNIX to Windows require lot more planning and resources as compared to moving just E1 servers. In this plan, we think to add Windows E1 server in current release and later perform the JDE upgrade. So, again not sure how this approach would be…
Also is there any issues running E1 on Windows server for that many users? I mean performance issues? Since v9.0 is thin client release, so a lot more processing would be done by E1 servers.
I appreciate to get your feed back and also help to plan out this upgrade.
Thanks,
Sanjiv
