RE: Alternatives to Pathworks?

Marc,
What transport protocol are you using at the moment if not TCP, Decnet I presume The 2 things that spring to mind are

1. Look at using Samba. That certainly works on VMS and allows file movement between VMS,Unix and NT. I have seen it grab a lot of CPU on VMS systems and I think it requires restarting frequently but that can all be scripted
2. What limits are reached on the VMS server. I cannot imagine UCX or whatever they call it now (services for TCP possibly) radically changing resource usage. Get a 30 day trial from Compaq and see what it affects

Dear list,

we have a 8.1.7 running on NT4. A NT-service copies flatfiles from a VAX/VMS and starts a batch, which imports the data into the DB. VMS is reached via Pathworks. Now, when Pathworks is installed an the machine running the instance, the instance seems to become instable and dies under some circumstances. Is there any alternative to pathworks? Our customer don't want to install TCP on VMS, because the machine is at it's limit.

Thanks in advance

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
