FW: Has COMMON lost its value? - feedback



Personal opinion:

I've attended COMMON several times (since I lived in Chicago at the time,
and they're based there), and more and more it turned from a technical
conference to a marketing conference. I have no idea how much $$$ it costs
now, or even where it is this year, but for those users of the
S/3x-AS/400-iSeries strictly for R/3, SAP TechEd is a better bet (and SAP
would *never* use a conference to sell you anything ...!)

Besides, do you really need courses on How to build a perfect subfile? Or
RPG Tips and Tricks?

Thought you might be interested......I sent this in response to an editorial
that was wondering why the attendance at iSeries user group conference is so
low.
COMMON is an iSeries National User Group in the U.S. that has been around
for many years

> Hi Kevin,
>
> I've been with the S/38 - AS/400 - iSeries platform since 1987.
> I was on the OMNI user group board 1993-1995; also played a role in
executing their annual educational conference for a few years.
>
> The company that I work for, moved away from traditional green screen
homegrown applications & implemented SAP ERP on the AS/400 in 1997.
>
> Just a couple of months into the SAP project, I found myself faced with
questions and issues which none of my AS/400 peers could begin to relate to.
> In 1997, I had things like "should we run 2tier or 3tier?"; "will a
printer hanging twinax off the AS/400 still work or should we move all
printing infrastructure to tcp/ip?"; "just what the heck is this IFS file
management that SAP uses all over the place?"; "should the common transport
directory which is NFS mounted (on the AS/400) reside on box A or Box B?";
"what are the performance trade-offs for placement of the change management
directory?" and so on.....
>
> Now, over the past 4 years, I've had to find & build a new iSeries AS/400
SAP peer group. We have participants from all over the world on our
iSeries/SAP DoNotReply@consolut.eu communicating and helping one
another every day. This same group tries to attend the SAP Technical
Education conference where we get together to meet face to face (CUD). I'm
sure the same is happening with the other iSeries-AS/400 ERP shops (JDE etc)
