Which 3rd party products are You using?

We have recently converted to large systems from PH/Image/MPEix to 
PH/Oracle/HP-UX. Currently we are using unix batch and print. As more of 
the PH code will be converted to Oracle Java Stored Procs and Windows GUI, 
the question wil arise on how to handle batch and volume printing.

I have been working on a conversion of a rather small pilot project from
what was Powerhouse that ran on Unix and AS400 to Axiant.  The original
application did not use a database.  Part of the headache in converting to
Axiant has been converting to a database.  The other difficulty is not
having all the tools the AS400 and Unix have.  Since our deployment
operating system is going to be Windows 2000, Windows does not have robust
batch or print spooler systems.  We had to locate those as 3rd party
programs.  With inheritance in Axiant, it is very important to get things
designed correctly to begin with, otherwise you will spend lots of time
retro-fitting the changes into your code.

If you decide to use Axiant, make sure you do a small project first.  I
cannot image trying to convert an application as large as you have to 
start.
Ultimately, we will convert a project as large as you describe, but only
after we get things working with our small project.

Hi
We are looking at 'modernising' a mature PH application currently running
on HPe3000. the application currently has 700 Quick screens, 300 Qtp, 1100
Quiz passes and 94 Cobol programs.
We don't have any immediate plans to move away from the HPe3000 or Image
database, but would like to look at PHWeb and / or Axiant.
Any info regarding this, wisdom of doing it, time required, degrees of
difficulty, benefits, horror stories, alternatives would be appreciated.
Thanks
Tony Knowles
