Migration and Interoperability from MPE to
Unix.
Minisoft's ODBC/32 and JDBC drivers for Unix enables these platforms to directly access data from
TurboImage databases, KSAM and MPE file residing on HP e3000s.
This opens up many new capabilities for migration and
interoperability.
Access HPe3000 data as if it were part of the
Oracle database.
For example, using Oracle's Heterogeneous
Services using Generic Connectivity, Oracle users and
applications can directly access HP e3000 data as if it were
part of an Oracle database. Simple commands to Oracle can become
powerful migration operations. A whole dataset can be migrated
to the Oracle database with one statement such as this:
CREATE TABLE <new Oracle table> AS SELECT
* FROM <e3000 dataset>
Also, since the HP e3000 data appears as tables
in the Oracle database, Oracle applications can use the data
directly. This provides a whole new slate of development tools
for web and e-business applications. Later when the data is
migrated to the Oracle system, the applications will not have to
be changed.
Web application interoperability between the
HPe3000 and UNIX systems.
Having Minisoft's ODBC/32 driver available on
Unix also enables web applications written for
application servers such as WebSphere, Sun ONE Active Server
Pages (formerly Chili!Soft ASP), iPlanet, Apache JServ, and
others to interoperate with HP e3000 applications by directly
accessing and modifying HP e3000 data. User applications, such
as StarOffice can also use Minisoft's connectivity on Unix to access HP e3000 data.
Minisoft's ODBC/32 and JDBC drivers for Unix can provide simple, powerful migration and
interoperability capabilities during each step of migration
