Aleph PWG Business meeting, Berlin 2013 Question 1 • We are running on ALEPH 21 with COBOL5 and rts32 is the main routine for aleph server processes and our platforms are 64-bit machines since long time. • Why can't we run rts64 instead of rts32 and take full advantage of our 64-bit machines?

  13. Aleph PWG Business meeting, Berlin 2013 Question 2 • The enhancements in Aleph 21 for more scalability (e.g. multi server topology, splitting of UE_01 in multiple processes) were really good things for big installations. However there are still some vital parts in the system, which must also be scalable. If, for example, the UE_21 can not handle the same amount of data as the UE01, there will inevitably be problems of acceptance concerning the use of Primo • When ue_21 job be able to run multiple processes, like ue_01?
