Application Manager with 10,001+ employees

Initial setup done by Vision Solutions specialist. Implementation itself can be done by MIMIX professionals quickly and does not require downtime (except when performing the test switch after the implementation). Design and analysis of the replication configuration is the crucial part, can be time consuming and requires mainly client input. We used a specific Vision Solutions implementer very familiar with our Core Banking system and were very happy with his professional services.

It was complex due to the nature of our environment's complexity and the scale of work needed.

MIMIX generally is set up that each data group is replicating a whole library. In our case, we have some libraries that have 20,000 files but we do not need to replicate them all, so it was simpler to just put in the entries we needed.

It's complex - you need to have a detailed understanding of the environment, and the AS/400 system in general. Network, security, and applications are all part of the process.

AS/400 Technical Analyst at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

It could be a very complex task. You have to very much know the nature of the data and system you want to replicate. During the initial phase I requested the help of support. Our replication environment was very complex (i.e. intra replication, automatic switch over procedure, etc.) so the initial setup took at least two weeks. It should be much less in case of a simpler environment.

IT & Comm Infrastructure Operations at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees

The first implementation was complex because we had to define, and understand, what we really need to replicate. When someone is asking you what to replicate, most of the clients are saying the "whole system". This is not possible, as you cannot replicate, for example, a system serial number (VPD), and all the other stuff that is system related when you use application-level replication (e.g local IP addressing of physical interfaces etc.).

We have a complex environment, so it depends on your particular environment which will be custom based on your business, typically.

Basic initial setup is very simple and, almost always, any problems are related to systems problems and/or communications.

It was fairly straightforward, however there are some complex settings you could find if you dug deep enough, again we did a lot of custom work to get it to work the way we wanted.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to implement. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good administrative and operational background.
