Re: Do you do ASIS?

["Steven Hovater" <nh-ho@mediaone.net>]

Hi David

You need to either set an environment variable - e.g.
setenv APEX_ENABLE_ASIS true
in your .cshrc, then start Apex. (this is from
my memory) or have your Apex admin enable it.

We used this heavily in a consulting gig I did recently.
If you're on an HP, you may have to have your sys admin
bump up the kernel stack size, but Solaris seems to rock.
I haven't tried this with Apex on the AIX, Tru64 or SGI platforms,
but I expect it to work.

Regarding ASIS and Apex - the ASIS 1.x stuff is supported in
Apex, likely to be so for a LONG time, and there is now also support
for  ASIS 2.0 in the Apex 3.2 series.

Still having a problem, gimme a shout/email. ASIS is tough to get started
in,
but the power it offers is incredible, once you're up the learning curve.

Regards,
Steve
