hi john, unfortunately i am the customer. when i said we have been suffering i really meant me
I must admit that i have thought about dumping JDE a few times. Since i have a little Oracle EBS background, some functionality comparisons such as intrinsic workflow and business rules engine make me wish for the green grass on the other side. But maybe i wont get to do this switch hence upgrade to 8.12 is my only salvation
From your experience can you suggest which SP of 8.12 is the most stable from a technical perspective?
We have a relatively small installation with just 250 named users. Yet we find that we cant handle large sql queries well. We recently had database disconnection issues that were traced to a memory allocation setting in boot.ini. The ES CPU performance maxes out from time to time causing slower response times. Hence there seems to be something going on in the database. basically we need the DB to be tuned well for the OS it is running on. Hence i was hoping that this tuning would be more standard on a redhat-oracle installation.
i shall certainly take you up on the offer to recommend tools and benchmarks. Thanks for the offer.
Since we dont have internal expertise it will be difficult for me to install some boxes on linux and test. Our upgrade project will be done by external consultants hence we need to decide the technology before the implementation starts. So how about a redhat-oracle, redhat-JAS, redhat-OAS configuration?
There is some linux exposure within my team. i guess what we dont know about JDE running on windows is as much as what we dont know about JDE running on linux. so not much to chose from!
I know its a drastic change from our current setup, but its not that i am coming from a stable setup in the first place. If i can sort out my support well, is this a viable option? Why do i need windows boxes in my setup at all?
i thought it was significant to have gotten a slight positive response to the OAS suggestion from you. i think if i can sort out my support well, thats where i should go
Thanks a lot John for all your comments. they have been extremely useful. I shall hope to share more in the near future.
best regards
shrek
