QTP migration questions

[Pat Shugart]

Hello all,

We're an Amisys shop in the final planning stages of our migration from the HP3000 to Amisys Advance on an HP9000. One of the decisions we need to make is what to do about QTP.

Choice #1: Convert QTP code to SQL (we use PL/SQL for other apps). As I understand it, performance is the greatest advantage of doing this. The "disadvantage" is that we have to rewrite all of our QTP code (and document it!) and it would take quite some time, as we have approximately 85 QTP processes of varying degrees of complexity.

Choice #2: Continue to use QTP on the 9000. The advantage is that relatively few changes will need to be made to our code and the migration/test period can be shortened. The great unknown is performance. Is it (nearly) as fast as SQL code? For you HP3000 users, I draw a comparison to what happened to Suprtool. I understand it is not nearly the same tool it was on the HP3000. I haven't been able to find any sort of comparison docs between the MPE and HPUX versions of QTP. 

I would appreciate both real-world and theoretical thoughts regarding our choices. Please don't call or email me about migration "solutions". Most of those decisions have already been made. Although alternatives to the choices above are welcome...

This may have been a duplicate post * my first attempt was rejected when I sent it to the previous listserv address. Sorry.

Thanks in advance,
