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. . .
