Hi fellow listers...

This question is mainly for users of the MPE/iX platform but may interest
others.

In case you did not know it, version 819C is the end of the road for
PowerHouse Architec. Don't know how long they will support it or at what
level (any response from Cognos on this?).

To continue using Architec to maintain your PDL's after upgrading to the
next release of PowerHouse, i.e. 839, you'll have to:

1) keep your last 819C release on the system and get Architec to point to
it,
2) only generate the PDL source via Architec,
3) manually compile the PDL source using your new release.


Now for the real reason for this posting:

1) Is anybody using Axiant to maintain their PDL sources and what is your
opinion? I'm thinking of getting a ?single-user? copy to initially perform
this function (at some point I'll also do a little experimenting).

2) Currently we have three (3) Architec environments that are used to create
two (2) PHD's. To make the story short, let's just say that it's caused by
record/element name and definition clashes. If you need further details then
please ask off-list. Will Axiant help with this?


I PROMISE THAT:

1) 'private' replies on this subject will NOT be forwarded to the list by
me.
2) any summarised posting that I make will not contain any identifier to the
supplier's) of that information.
