[THIN] Re: There goes the Neighborhood? what the?

Ø       It looks like this service is dependent on Web Interface - I wonder what it does if WI is down?

 

I think that is the fundamental change here, not necessarily the UI portion. PN was fundamentally based on talking directly to the farm or target server whereas WI and PNagent assume a middleware web infrastructure to enumerate apps/servers and point you to the right place.

 

While I understand the user experience benefit of the web services approach I do have the concern of not being able to go “direct”. This might just be legacy thinking though, I go back to Winview when direct was all there was J

>i am surprised this has taken this long to happen. I stopped using PN back when the PNAgent came out.  The few times I have used it since then, I have found it annoying and cumbersome.  Good Riddance.
