Re: PeopleSoft SQR Support Strategies

Todd,

The site that I am currently working at has made a decision to allow
production SQR's to run only on the (Unix) server.  It was determined
that there was no need to run any sqr's on the client and server
performance would be better than client performance anyhow.  Programmers
develop sqr's on the client before migrating them to the server for
testing by the users.  There is a support saving, when a production
problem occurs we only need to look at the server.
