  • iTera Says Out-of-Synch Conditions are a Thing of the Past

    October 25, 2005 Alex Woodie

    Perhaps the biggest challenge of maintaining an OS/400 high availability implementation is dealing with out-of-synch conditions. When a file or an object on the backup system doesn’t match up with the corresponding file or object on the primary system, an OS/400 shop risks losing data when a failover is performed. iTera says it has created new technology with the latest release of its Echo2 high availability software that makes worrying about such conditions a thing of the past.

    Last week, iTera unveiled Echo2 version 4.2, which the company started selling October 1. This release contains several “autonomic” functions, which is

  • Raz-Lee Developing Native iSeries Antivirus Software

    October 25, 2005 Alex Woodie

    iSeries shops will have another option when it comes to obtaining native OS/400 anti-virus software next month when Raz-Lee Security is expected to ship iSecurity Anti-Virus.

  • The Real World, Versus Real-World Load Testing

    October 25, 2005 Robert Gast

    We universally accept the fact that it’s dangerous to run with sharp objects like scissors. People do nevertheless, and occasionally get hurt. And while it’s risky to go live with newly written software before knowing how it will behave under heavy loads, lots of development shops take the chance. Ironically, load testing is most often left to customers, dealers, salesmen, and others who, for reasons of transacting routine business, interact with skittish new systems at their own peril.

    Such was the case for a small 100-year-old scissor maker that had based a century of success on quality and accountability. Two

  • For LANSA, 3-Way Product Data Synch is as Easy as ABI EC

    October 25, 2005 Alex Woodie

    Following the lead of the consumer packaged goods industry’s UCCnet initiative, the Alcohol Beverage Industry’s Electronic Commerce Council (ABI EC) is now pushing for its members to adopt product data synchronization to drive greater efficiency in this supply chain. While this industry poses unique challenges for product data synchronization, progress is being made, particularly at Glazer’s Wholesale Drug, a Texas distributor that implemented LANSA‘s Data Sync Direct product on an OS/400 server, and became one of the first companies to comply with ABI’s request.

    The rationale behind efforts to standardize and synchronize data about consumer packaged goods is well
