AS 400 VS XI

Question

In the olden days, like AS-400 era we have Initiators (The Thread) and also in the Job Control Language we can assign the Priority of that particular job, high or medium or low and that will assign the appropriate que and it will be processed.
But in the modern days like XI I feel they unnecessarily talk about various engines and complicate the stuffs. Still the Ques are not functioning properly even after assigning the High, medium, low(as this is going to help only inside the Integration Engine), then the basis need to work on the number of threads and I belive the recent technologies are not that powerful like AS-400 or IBM Mainframe for sure

Answer 1

Hey Pete
yes i agree with you that we cant prioritize the messages at adapter engine level yet,but just coz of few things we cant simply scarp a tool,XI is gradually improving,they had XI 2.0 which had no BPM,all sync scenario were split into two separate async scenario,then came up XI 3.0 which has lots of good stuffs,and they are still releasing SP to make the product better.
i have seen a blog where it has been mentioned that PI7.1 will have the capability to bypas IS ,which means all message mapping and routing will be performed at Adapter engine level.every tool has some hiccups and same holds for XI too.
Thanx
Ahmad
