Running PI on iSeries or Windows platform??

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are in the process of purchasing/installing PI 7.1. We are running our ECC6.0 on iSeries and we are now considering what platform to use for the PI. Our server guys are a bit worried that a PI on the iSeries might cause performance problems or the need to purchase additional hardware.

Are there any advantages (or disadvantages) to put the PI on a windows platform when ECC is on iSeries?

best regards,

Hi Glenn,

have you done your choice ?

I can say that iSeries is much more stable for SAP Java stack !

Naturally depending on the volume of messages worked by PI ......... and the HW available resouces on your iseries server.

I've bad feedback from my customers with PI on Windows but depends on workload.

You might do a sizing by your IBM partner.

No problems with a mixed landscape windows for PI and iseries for ECC.

Kind Regards
