Thanks. We'll be putting our Websphere on a dual PIII 1.4Ghz with 1.2Gb
Ram. We tried it on our AS400 Model 720 and it ran poorly compared to
having it on a separate box. We're on SP19 and due to XP PCs and specs
not loading with update packages we have to upgrade to SP20 or above.
We're looking at going to SP21.

From what I can tell so far, there is really no real performance
difference between the single server edition and the enterprise edition
- providing you are looking only at a single machine. Obviously, the
single server edition is easier to initially set up and configure than
the enterprise edition - but the enterprise edition has some fun parts
when multiple servers are used.Now - as far as the performance running
on Websphere on Win2K - well, it certainly looks a little better with
SP20 from a scalability point of view. I was able to have my Quad Xeon
(Pentium III - 550Mhz IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 with 2Gb RAM) run
approximately 75 users through a script before seeing severe performance
issues. Obviously, the websphere solution is a lot slower than a
comparable Citrix solution - no matter how many users are on the machine
- but because it is a lot more efficient with memory, it works
relatively well as far as the scalability. I think with a lot of tuning
and tweaking!
, and a lot more memory, I'd be able to see substantially more users.
(Tested with ERP8.0 and SP20).Heres the rub, however, from what I
understand from other colleagues (I don't have my own AS400 to perform
testing yet !) - Websphere is a lot more efficient on an AS400. I have
not seen the difference side by side, but from the comments I have heard
from AS400 customers running the websphere solution - it opened my eyes
to believe that IBM certainly tuned Websphere specifically for OS/400
(surprise surprise - not !if OSType = "Microsoft"{ SLEEP 60}course I
can't prove it yet......IBM needs to lend me an AS400 so I can try it
out head-to-head with a Win2K machine
