Transaction Enabler functionality
I know that this is a little bit specialised, but those people that use TE in a Unix or Windows environment will know that there are some bits of functionality that can be done via the command switches (-p, -m etc etc) and some stuff that can only be done with aefc (such as locking load modules in memory).
I think that ALL functionality should be available from the command line.
For example, preloading load modules into memory is something that is sometimes done at the start of an online day to improve performance, as is locking load modules in memory, to stop them being paged out.
In a Unix environment, this could be done by adding new command line switches, or reading from a file (yes – I know that it can be done by an aefc script, but that seems a little clunky, using two tools to accomplish what should be done by one).
Maybe this will change in a future release of the product, maybe to a GUI configuration tool – bearing in mind, the estate to which I am attached is on Gen 7.0 (moving to 7.6 soon)…..
Maybe this is food for thought……
