The HA is a must. That's why if I could get it to work with either oracle or db2 in this parallel fashion then I have built in HA without having to mess with IBM's HACMP on AIX.
Agreed on the strategic direction.
Turns out this would probably be a phased project. First possibly move the mainframe stuff to CICS on AIX. Then migrate the VSAM stuff outside of CICS into DB2 as a phase 2. Then re-write the CICS applications to run CICS native as a phase 3+. Received on Wed Feb 04 2004 - 14:13:58 CST
