Yes Dave
and i agree with you .
(apart that if it doubles to a 5 figure number it is already half a five
figure number :-)) )
Hmm; the licensing cost isn't a 2.5 figure number <g>. It's a 4 figure
number, which if doubled would become a 5 figure number. 4 doubles to 5,
right? ;-)
your product does not endanger a DR plan , your product does not affect
the production of 5000 users . Or does it ?
That's a good question, and I honestly don't know the answer. SimpList gives
mainframe users an alternative to the regular ISPF interface. If it suddenly
became unavailable, the regular interface would still be there. In that
sense, it's not 'critical'; i.e. people could still go back to using ISPF
option 3.4 (or whatever they previously used). In other words, SimpList is
nowhere near as mission critical as a tape management system or job
scheduler (etc).
OTOH, SimpList can dramatically impact the productivity of users. If it
suddenly became unavailable, people would have to stop using labels and
symbols (etc) and go back to doing things the old way. This is hardly ideal
in a disaster situation. To use an analogy, imagine if a disaster occurred
and you switched to a site where TSO was available but ISPF was not
available. You'd still be able to get things done, but not nearly at the
kind of pace you'd like.
