There will not be any possibilities for roll-back in a gateway like this. (RMS-jounaling ???)

There might also be some constraints regarding locking.

RMS for VMS is just like C-ISAM for Unix, and sometimes it makes sense to store information in index-sequential files, eg. for speed or exchange with legacy systems.

Both reasons are valid for my situation, and the migration to Oracle would be speeded up by a 2-way interface. Received on Thu Sep 21 1995 - 00:00:00 CEST
