Just a FYI. I just found out today that the new OMNIBACK Ver 3.5 now includes the long-awaited agent for MPE/iX!!! Support includes MPE/iX 5.5 Express 7 and up. The agent is obtained when you buy or upgrade the OpenView/OMNIBACK II environment to 3.5. and I *assume* ask for the client license for the e3000. I have no idea what charge, if any there is yet. Traditionally, OPENVIEW stuff is sold by HP direct and/or your HP 9000 distributor. I have no further details yet, other than B6951AA is a key OpenView part number. That may be enough to get the ball rolling on a purchase, but...??? Just remember there are LOTS of options and licenses involved, typical of OpenView products. Hope this helps, Chris the geek ********** Posted from www.3kworld.com
