HP3000/Image to Linix Red Hat/Oracle Back End

[Charles Finley]

While we have not yet taken Powerhouse to Linux we have migrated HP 3000
applications to SLES, Redhat and Centos. We have used Oracle, IBM DB2 and
Postgresql on Linux. Using the right tools, going to Linux is not any more
difficult than going to any other platform.  My company Transformix has been
migrating HP 3000 applications to HP-UX, AIX, Windows and Linux for years.  

Our migration toolset, Transport, makes a Powerhouse migration to Oracle,
IBM DB2, Posgresql and on Windows MSSQL seem about as simple as going IMAGE
to IMAGE or IMAGE to Eloquence. As much as I would like a trip to the UK, I
don't think you need such a thing.  Please contact me if you want to see it
in action.  We can arrange a remote demonstration. While we have not
specifically run Powerhouse on Linux yet, if it works as advertised, my
guess is that we could show it working with our standard demonstration
application by the end of this week.

Hi All,

We are currently in the early stages of planning a migration from
vanilla TurboImage and Powerhouse plus a handful of Cobol programs to
Red Hat Linux and Powerhouse with an Oracle backend.

I've already read some of the available documents, concerning
migration, from the IBM 'Cognos' site and, indeed, I've been involved
in several similar projects in the past, but never to Linux.

I'd just like the board to share any experiences/pitfalls/things to
look out for in a migration to Linux and I would also like anyone to
share their experiences of the tools available/methods to unload an
Image database and reload/perform data type migration into Oracle (or
any RDBMS).

Plus if anyone is available for Contract work in the South of the UK
(quite near Brighton) I would like to hear from them.

Best wishes to you all,


Adrian
