PKAllocate (Order Router) to DOM.

Hello iSeries Shops,

As you are probably all aware, PKAlllocate (Order Router) is no longer supported by ManH.

I am just curious as to how many people have migrated from PKAllocate running on the iSeries to DOM running in AIX/DB2/Webshphere or Linux/ORACLE/JBoss stack?

Any thoughts?

Thank You,

Jeff

Hello, thank you for the reply.   You do have a point that if PKAllocate is working then you can just have someone besides ManH support it.  That could even include a team of internal iSeries developers that are familiar with this package.  I was mostly looking too if other WMS package users have going down this route.  I do appreciate your response.

Did I possibly post to a forum that is not really meant for the general WMS community to share ideas and thoughts?

Thanks,

Jeff P

Chad,

Thank you for the response.  I am not on the decision end of what gets supported.  I happen to be a developer on an iSeries that helps support a ManH WMS environment from time to time.  I also happen to enjoy forums where you see other opinions and thoughts .

Thanks for sifting through all of the typographic errors in my last post.

You are right though about resources.  Already on the payroll.  Already have a solid iSeries running WMi along with various other packages including a home grown ERP.  DOM running on a different technology stack can equate to hidden costs.

I have found that when ManH drops support of a product in favor of their new product, they tend to forget about some of the functionality that their customers took advantage of in their previous product.
