Cognos 839 on HP3000 ( Quick, Quiz, Qtp ) migrate path to UNIX ?

[Charles Finley]

It will be a pleasant surprise to you how easy it can be if you use the
right tools.  

We, Transformix can migrate Powerhouse to Oracle or SQL Server with mostly
automated changes using tools.  We pretend to be Eloquence so if upon
installation of Powerhouse you tell it that Eloquence is your database you
should expect that code works mostly as is. This means that on Windows you
can use Oracle, DB2, SQL Server or Postgresql. As far as KSAM is concerned,
we store the data inside of the RDBMS and we allow the use of either KSAM or
C-ISAM/DISAM to be used to access the data.  Therefore, for Powerhouse code
we would pretend to be the shared library or dll they are looking for to
replace KSAM and your code should mostly work as is. Moreover, if you have
3gl code like COBOL, etc. that must also access the data they two are likely
to work with few modifications. 

We also have an implementation of MPE JCL, Spooler, Batchjob, FTP, Suprtool,
etc.  This all works and can be demonstrated immediately with Powerhouse for
Windows, Linux or Unix.  

Which version of Unix would you prefer to use?

Review the MPE/iX Migration Guide from 
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/data/cognos/documentation/docs/en/powerho
use/8.4f/mig_mpeix.pdf

It has chapters on migrating to UNIX, Linux, and Windows. It also 
discusses moving to relational databases and differences between KSAM and 
C-ISAM. Once you've gone through that, you'll be in a much better position 
to ask specific questions.

Gentleman

Would any of you know the easiest migration path with the least amount of 
modifications
For migrating off of the Hp3000 to UNIX? I assume the new database could 
be SQL Server or Oracle.
Index files ( KSAM) are also used quite heavily.

Thank You in advance.
