Hi all,

CSY is providing the System Inventory Utility (SIU) tool via Jazz.
This tool consists of a CI script, a database reading program file, the
source to this program, and a simple file that maps account names to vendor
company names. SIU scans your system looking at all databases, groups,
directories, and accounts and attempts to categorize your inventory of
files. Support for SIU is currently on a "best effort" basis by CSY R&D.
Please do not call the HP Response Center if you have any problems with
this freeware tool.  But please do let me or anyone in CSY know.

The goals for this tool are twofold: 1) help customers who are planning
on migrating off of MPE better understand what are the important files
they need to consider.  E.g. they may have long forgotten that they are
using some obscure Image DB or something like that.  2) it should be
useful to system managers staying on MPE.

SIU is available on Jazz at:

 http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/scripts/siu/index.html

The script require MPE/iX version 6.0 Powerpatch 1 or later.

There are three archives on the SIU main page: 1) a tar package,
2) a store-to-disk package, 3) a store-to-disk package created
using WRQ's Reflection Label method. All packages contain the same
4 files, so just chose whichever method works best for you.

Thank you very much for help I got from this group!  For folks who
have already used/tested this tool, please note the file name changes
mentioned on the Web page.

 regards,
 Jeff Vance, CSY
