iMaxSoft (formerly LeeTech) sells middleware that can allow both
access between various systems (3000 <-> 9000 being one combination)
as well as access to various databases (Image/Oracle/DB2/etc).  You
can call the AIM API's via your COBOL program on the 3000 to maintain
the Oracle DB on the 9000 as one possible combination.
  If you would like to keep things as compatible as possible for now,
they also sell a product called 'OpenTurbo' which converts the Image
calls to compatible RBMS calls (still using AIM as the conduit).  This
means that with little to no code changes on the 3000 side, you can
manipulate the Oracle database as if it were your Image db.

Their web site is at: http://www.imaxsoft.com

Subject: [HP3000-L] Access Oracle on HP9000 from HP3000?


Does anyone have any experience with, or know of any tools, which can be
used by an application (written in COBOL) on an HP3000 to access an Oracle
database on an HP9000?  I've talked to Oracle and they are not supporting
the HP3000 any more.  We have a piece of in-house middleware that handles
all the database IO between our application and the current Image database
that is written in COBOL but it could probably be rewritten in whatever
language would make accessing Oracle easier.  Our version of Oracle is 8.17
(8I).

Thanks in advance for any help or information you can give me on this.

Paul Krikorian.
