1987.0. "ALL-IN-1 and Computer Associates Forwards" by ALBANY::FIEDLER () Thu Dec 17 1992 22:18

    
    One of my customers has the product "FORWARDS" from Computer 
    Associates integrated into ALL-IN-1 2.4.
    
    The customer is planning to add some new hardware and also 
    upgrade to 3.0 of ALL-IN-1 very soon.
    
    Our customer has been assured by Computer Associates that they 
    will release "FORWARDS" version 1.53 in the Jan. time frame, and
    it will integration into ALL-IN-1 3.0 successfully.  
    
    I'd appreciate any info on this "FORWARDS" package.  I'm sure it's
    not a Digital "supported" product, however, I'm also sure that
    someone out there may help me avoid marathon work days attempting
    to integrate this into the ALL-IN-1 3.0 upgrade.

1987.2What modules? - have you run the CART?IOSG::WICKSALeft alone in IOSG's rabbit warrenFri Dec 18 1992 14:0812
    Computer Associates products such as CA-ARCHIVER aren't supported
    by DIGITAL so you were right about that.
    
    If you could tell us what modules (BLISS, FORMS, SCRIPTS etc) that
    FORWARDS changes someone could make an educated guess on how smoothly
    it might upgrade to v3.0 - naturally you can also run the CART
    on your current system to obtain similiar information

1987.3Forwards Def. - CART non-informative on ForwardsALBANY::FIEDLERFri Dec 18 1992 16:5519
    RE .1
    
    FORWARDS is a Document Retrieval System.
    
    It is both command and menu driven.  My customer is utilizing it as
    an Index of Legal Documents retrieval mechanism.
    
    It is access from ALL-IN-1 menu just like LOTUS etc.
    
    I have run CART on their system and I don't believe it picked up any
    conflicts. I'll be running CART again soon, I'll make double sure.
    
    I'm not sure what modules are modified.  My customer is trying to find
    someone who can answer that.
    
    Also, customer informed me that FORWARDS was originally developed by
    Access Technology.  I guess that Computer Assoc bought Access Tech.
    
    Thanks for your help

    presumably if there's an option like Lotus on the MAIN menu that's for
    FORWARDS then the CART should have reported that in something like status P
    
    using BACKUP/LIST on the FORWARDS saveset(s) would give a definitive
    list of changed modules
    
    And you're right about Computer Associates buying out Access Technology
    - it was about this time last year and they picked up the 20/20
      spreadsheet and it's integration into ALL-IN-1 as well
