VOID isn't the right word... BTW, it was your word, not mine. It's not even close to being the right word. It's all out wrong. I should have continued quoting the next line too (below). You didn't just imply that it's not allowed, you said it. The very documentation you pull out to support your argument specifically talks about needing license slots for that very thing. If it's "not allowed" than there is be no reason to state the need for user licenses for them.
We could even make it more interesting. Your new argument seems to be against the queuing of requests. I believe most webservers queue requests. I know for a fact that apache does. See the docs on MinSpareServers, MaxSpareServers, and MaxClients. And since a webserver is transactional and stateless (unless we consider sessions which I'll get into in a sec), then when does a user count and when do they not? In other words, I request a page from the webserver connected to a U2 database. I use up a user license slot. When does that slot free back up? When the page is done being sent? When I don't ask for any more pages? How you going to determine that? When my session is over? If sessions are used. What if they aren't? When I close my browser? Again how to determine that? After some arbitrary timeout? How long and who decides? Let's relate it to a terminal based app. Say I want to check inventory. I could log on, send my request, see the answer and log out. Is that not what the web server is doing when a page asking for the same this is requested and sent back? So for a terminal, my user license is needed from login to logout. So unless something like sessions are being used to maintain some type of state, then why would the web based user not be bound by the same rules? > --- D Averch wrote: > All of the products mentioned here except RedBack will VOID your IBM > concurrent user license requirement.
