Maybe others have done this but in case not, I have Zope (2.3) running on a linux virtual machine on an IBM System 390. It installed and started okay. The only product I've installed as of tonight is the latest PTK. I've been told that this is only a test environment and that it can go up and down at the pleasure of the system managers. I was wondering if anyone had something that they thought should be tested in this environment, something that would be beneficial to the Zope cause. Perhaps some load testing or performance measures that might be of use to the Zope community. If Zope could benefit, I'd be glad to let someone run some tests. Who knows, it may be doggier than some hot multi-processor Intel box...it did compile fast though. Ronald L. Roeber University of Nebraska rroeber1@unl.edu
It's probably a lot of work, but it would be quite useful to gauge performance on several ( ~ 10) ZEO clients each running in their own VM, talking to a storage server running in its own VM. It would require setting up some sort of redirector or round-robin DNS to do the test with, and perhaps some meaningful methods. then of course, you'd need to run something like Apache's "ab" against that set of methods, recording the average response time for each run on different concurrency settings. But that's probably more than you want to sign up for. ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronald L.

Yipeee! What wonderful news! We are currently developing an ecommerce solution with Zope and one (favorite) possible platform is Linux/390. The next big question is support for relational databases, in our project we need a high scalable transactional RDBMS, and we consider DB2 and Oracle, but I think (and IBM recommends, of course) DB2 will be the first choice. Unfortunately there exists no DB2 DA for Zope, but as I posted few days ago it should be affordable to implement one since there exists a DB API 2.0 compliant Python driver for DB2. Currently we eveluate the effort to implement this Database Adapter. Let's see if there is anybody else interested in this platform, unfortunately DC (I asked them some weeks ago) does not have experiences with S/390 to give us support . Last but not least - wouldn't it be fine to run a Zope zServer on an IBM zServer ? Do you have any RDBMS running on your system? Let's come into contact for further operation...

There are/were plans for a SQL/CLI Database Adapter (http://www.zope.org/Members/petrilli/DARoadmap). Did they not mature? I have a need for one and will contribute what (little) knowledge I have to a project. -- Tim Cook, President - FreePM,Inc. http://www.FreePM.com Office: (901) 884-4126 New MedicationManager, Try it now at: http://www.freepm.org:8080/FreePM
Yes, I've read that but unfortunately I also have read the footer of this article: << Created by petrilli. Last modified on 1999/09/15. >> And I have not found any other reference, so I think this project is stalled, but anyhow I will contact Chris Petrilli... Currently we are checking out this Python API compliant DB2 driver. In two days or so I can estimate our effort to implement the DA, and -yes- any participation would be very fine, I'll contact you as soon as I know more... thanks phil *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 21.02.2001 at 10:06 Tim Cook wrote:
