Hi
Is there any BSFNs that should be left to run on the server? I'm curious to
try this out since we have upgraded our terminal servers to Xeon 2.8s and
they have plenty of "grunt" to spare.
Thanks

Given the extremely fast INTEL processors you can buy today and the amount
of RAM you can now pile into a 2000/TSE box, the need for the W*
environments had pretty much disappeared. It was a valid need when JDE
first introduced the TSE solution, but much has changed since then.
For most BSFNS, the time it takes for a JDENET BSFN call to go across a LAN
to an APP or ENT server, process, and return the results to the TSE box is
slower than running the same function locally. The only real exception is
if you mapped your W* environment BSFN's to run on your Enterprise Server,
and the function you call is VERY data intensive. In that case, it may run
faster if mapped to your Enterprise Server. But most BSFN's aren't reading
enough data to make this a reason for running BSFN logic on your Enterprise
Server.
So, if you need to pile a very large number of concurrent users on a single
TSE box, then instead of using an APP server and W* environments, in most
cases you would b!
e better served just getting a second TSE box and using the regular
environments. (i.e. run all BSFN's locally)
