Don -



We don't have Speedware, so I can't speak to that.  I was responding to Craig Lalley's question about people using the emulator in production.



I can say that since what is emulated is the PA-RISC hardware and not MPE, it seems unlikely that there would be any software incompatibilities.  Everything we use (multiple third-party tools plus in-house Cobol/Image software systems) just worked.  It really was true that no one would have noticed a difference unless we told them.



The single item that we had to modify was in our backup job stream.  We had a tape rewind command in the job that was no longer needed & which the emulator at that point (2013) did not understand.  The "fix" took less than sixty seconds when I removed that clause from the job.



In summary, I would expect Speedware to work without incident but I couldn't speak to what combination would provide optimal performance (that is, which class HP3000 should be emulated or what physical hardware should be under it).  We spent a long time testing the emulator without charge before we proceeded with the purchase.  I would think the possibility exists that Stromasys would extend a similar courtesy to you so that you could find out first hand with your data in your environment.

Thanks for the information. Are you using Speedware applications in your environment?

Let's open this up.   Is anyone using Stromasys in a PRODUCTION environment?
