David:

Nice thought.  There never appears to be an end to the line of people that
take short-term profit views to long-term profit potential.  Just look at
Toyota and General Motors.  :-(

Subject: RE: [U2] UONET connection pool problem

One of the reasons we CANNOT leave RedBack is the pricing logic of
Connection Pools -- At least with RedBack, each new account only costs us
the price of a single U2 seat and as long as the volume is not too high,
you're good to go... The WebShare gives the bandwidth (how many transactions
at once), but the Responders allow us a number of 'available' accounts
"cheaply".

IBM knows all this -- I've complained about it every chance I get!
Hopefully 'Market Noise' will cause them the correct their pricing flaw ...
If not, I know Cache or QM will be excited about their pricing in the long
run! <g>

But one choice you DO have - build an account of nothing but pointers --
AcctName.FileName as the VocEntry -- and then use *those* to allow one
Connection Pool port to 'multiplex' accounts.  But it's a PAIN and requires
a change to your code to know what account it uses and hence what file to
open - and as a bonus, it's impossible to secure correctly!  But as IBM will
tell you - you DO have a a way to do it with just one CP...

In my mind, the answer is that Connection Pooling pricing should be more in
line with RedBack - buy a 'volume' in one column (pricey) then buy the
number of accounts in the other (cheap)...

Just my thought....
