If a person can't tell the difference between the database and
their business application then they probably aren't the right
person to be posting to a forum on behalf of their employer.

The question to ask yourself is "would my question apply to
anyone with this DBMS, or does it only apply to banks with this
specific software?".  The question "During the replication of the
two servers which mode is best supported by jbase? " is a DBMS
question, not to be prefaced with "T24".  A question like "is
there a menu option to turn on replication" is a T24 question.  A
borderline case might be "my custom BASIC code failed to update a
file in a subroutine call, and I don't know if the application
restricted the update or if the DBMS did".

When in doubt, post to the T24 forum and you will either get a
response there, or someone will suggest you post to the DBMS
forum.  That's not too tough is it?  This happens every day in
other forums.

The alternative is that the entire jBase membership gets an
enquiry that has nothing to do with jBase - I think this actually
hurts the jBase community, giving people the impression that
jBase is now nothing more than a subset of T24.  This forum has
1927 subscriptions of which "some percentage" does not use T24,
and this has been going on for 6 years.  Non-T24 people don't
burden the group with their application-related questions like
"how do I run period end close", they take those questions
elsewhere.  Bank IT people should be as considerate.

Is that unreasonable or too difficult?

Like I said, if that's the end of the jBase group, then it is
what it is.  It's up to jBase people to keep their group alive
for their own reasons.  If T24 is the only thing keeping this
group alive then it was dead a long time ago and people need to
start thinking about how to address that problem on its own.
