New to SAP and not yet on AS/400
Chris,I have worked with SAP on AIX, Linux, NT and OS/400, and can't begin to tell you
how
stable the AS/400 is compared to the alternatives. The AS/400 was always built
with
reliability in mind because it was designed to run businesses, and IBM knows in
that
world, reliability makes more money than whiz-bang-tech stuff.
What you will find is that most of your documentation is based on the Unix
world, so
you will need to get some "SAP running on AS/400" specific education to learn
the
particulars of that kind of implementation.
If your current consultants are Microsoft centric, they will be uncomfortable
with
the AS/400.
As for playing Work Management Guru on an AS/400 running SAP, your knowledge
will
help your understanding, but aside from tuning your Machine, *Base (SAP's home),
and
Spool pool, you will spend most of your time tuning SAP at the basis level. But
don't worry, it's lot's more fun. It's what makes SAP portable.
Good luck!
