I agree.. We are at that tuning point... Leaving VSE/ESA cobol,cics,db2,vsam.. FOR...Windows and SQL Server..
The programmers want to do the .Net thing... They tell me that .Net works better with SQL than with MySql... Do the .Net thing but leave the database on the mainframe..MySql or DB2... No.. They want all Microsoft Products...can't win the fight.. Still trying though... We are not big enough for Websphere.. Too complicated for our 9 programmers...too much cobol for many years.. Which is not a bad thing.. Hey cobol tried and true.... I tell the Microsoft network staff that I got my MSBS certification.. And it only took about 10 mins... Microsoft Bull S... Certification... They think I am crazy..... Can't wait until we do the disaster recovery....Mainframe eazy... Many ms servers a nightmare... Thanks for listening to me ramble...

Cables cause 95% of network problems. 3) Simpler disaster recovery specs, planning and exercise. 4) It really is like in that commercial where "someone stole all the servers". :-) Ray Mrohs Energy Information Administration U.S. Department of Energy > -----Original Message----- > From: Levy, Alan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 11:03 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Why Zseries > > << File: ATT102814.txt >> << File: image001.jpg >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
