Uh, no again. I'm not aware of any impact zAAP(s) would have on RDz-related workloads. [And why would a zAAP requirement be a problem anyway? If the business case makes sense, you'd get one. If not, you wouldn't. It's not a complicated issue.] Your mileage may vary according to your development usage patterns. However, it is fairly common in the real world for RDz to offer some CPU resource benefit. >It's not all bad, RDz has some very useful features and will >appeal to newbies who would consider a 3270 UI user hostile. >However, I have my doubts if it will make much of an impact. >with the old timers. I agree that RDz usage will probably skew toward "new" developers. But I think it'd be a shame if "old timers" are universally inflexible and opposed to new technology choices. I don't think that's true. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
