Check out www.connx.com <http://www.connx.com> .  They have a product that
can access RMS files and Oracle databases.

Roll out the wayback machine, and dust it off this is a puzzler....
 
The customer is on version (gulp) 6.10E on a microvax.  No chance of
upgrading.   No TCPIP available either, so I can't even think about using an
ODBC driver to read the RMS files.  The only way I can connect to the 
machine is through RLAT. (Reflections LAT)  I can transfer the files off at
high speed like FTP. 
 
I need to transfer the data into Oracle....  I can't use QTP to go directly
to Oracle because the version of PH doesn't support Oracle.   I think my
only alternative is to get the data to portable subfiles.  
I have the schema already built in Oracle, though.    
 
The customer was running a legacy ERP system called Visibility.  They want
to get their history data into Oracle so that it can live on forever and
ever!  From what I understand, Visibility used portable subfiles and their
own scripts to pump the data into Oracle.    Any takers?
 
Thanks,
Sal Emma
