What is wrong with this picture.
In the February edition of Interexpress, on page 5, there is a story abou=
t
Software AG and HP opening a joint technology lab, with the express purpo=
se
of migrating ADABAS to HP-UX. Towards the end of the story, there is a
paragraph which states: << ADABAS is an OLTP database server that has be=
en
well established in mainframe environments for more than 25 years and has=
been available on UNIX-system-based environments since 1991.>> This lab =
will
be staffed by both Software AG and HP folks and is situated at HP in
Cupertino.
So HP is willing to expend beaucoup effort in migrating a third-party
proprietary database to HP-UX, but it will not consider making IMAGE/SQL
available on HP-UX. {:-)
One of HP=92s main objection for moving IMAGE/SQL to HP-UX is that IMAGE =
is old
technology, it is over 20 years old. Now in the article, it appears to m=
e
that HP and Software AG are saying that it is advantageous for ADABAS to =
be
25 years old. Now, I am totally confused, I thought 25 was more than 20=
,
and 20 was too much. But now it seems that 25 is desirable?!?
This looks like a question for IPROF, or INTEREX or . . . Yes, I know,
having ADABAS on HP-UX will bring more folks to the HP environment. Does=
this mean that at some point ADABAS would be migrated to the HP3000?
Kind regards,
Denys. . .
