PH to Axiant migration

[Edis, Bob]

Dear Audrey

The two hardest parts of your project will be converting the C-ISAM data
structure to a RDBMS structure and redesigning your Quick screens for a GUI.
Both a time consuming and can fall victim to the clash of personal
viewpoints.

I suggest you spend the time analysing and designing a robust and extensible
RDBMS schema before anything else.

If you have good existing PowerHouse expertise and little Axiant experience
you may be able to delay the screen conversion (QTP will be largely
unaffected) by getting the beta version of PowerHouse 8.4 for Windows NT.  

Quiz is a dog on Windows NT against a SQL Server database.  I suggest either
re-writing the reports using Impromptu or redesign the Quiz programs to use
as much embedded SQL statements as possible.

Regards,
Blue

Hello again

Thanks for all your replies.

Robert Mills (and others) said:
"It would help if you gave some details of your current environment.

What version of PowerHouse and which platform and version of OS is it
running on?"

We are running on a Data General box currently and running PH version 8 on a
C-ISAM file structure. Our migration is actually forced on us by the vendor
of our third party payroll . 
We are going to MS-SQL server on a Win2000 box.
