ADABAS On Other Platforms

[Jim Marshall]

I am hearing from my ADABAS DBA that ADABAS can run on other platforms
such as UNIX and Windows (anyone know if it is true for zLinux). Anyway
would like to get an idea of people who are actually doing it today and our
agency would like to chat, if possible, about your experience. it is running on a
z9BC-O02 (253MIPS).

A major Line-of-Business wants to be off of it in 2012 and the other customer
may need to hang on for a number of years or maybe stay with it. They seem
to believe it serves them well.

So this is not to convert the code to run on something else but just finding a
cheaper way of still using ADABAS and Natural.

Ducks Unlimited of Canada is running ADABAS and Natural on Linux for System z on a z9 BC. They gave a user experience session on it at SHARE 111 in San Jose. http://linuxvm.org/Present/SHARE111/S9288db.pdf

Hi Jim,

As I wrote to you in other post SmartDCI from PKS replaces the ADABAS stub
module with one of its own and is able to direct adabas calls to DB2/Oracle
on almost any platform. It does involves any code change.
