427.0. "VMS client catalog on CSD - any plans ?" by ATZIS3::PIEBER (chaos has many faces) Tue Apr 15 1997 08:51

    Hi,
    
    note 388 deals with catalog locations for clients and I would like to
    post my question / add my vote for the possibility to optionally have 
    the VMS client catalog on the CSD as an alternative.
    
    The current ABS setup with the catalog on the VMS client along with 
    staging is optimized for performance, no doubt. However, when it comes to
    disaster planning, you need to take care of multiple disks spread out
    over the clients and this task would be easier to accomplish with a 
    central (set of) catalog(s).
    
    Maybe something like writing <SR>.STG locally and during the STG-->IDX
    update, pull it over to the CSD.
    
    Are there any plans for this ?
    
    Ewald.

427.1It's in requirements listCOOKIE::MHUATue Apr 15 1997 13:5216
    
    Ewald,
    
    Having catalog files on the CSD (or server side) has been discussed
    within the engineering team before.  I think it's on the requirements
    list that Judy Cross maintains.  Please contact Judy about making 
    this an ABS feature for future releases.
    
    For now, it is not in the plan for the next release of ABS. Keep the
    input coming to Judy, so that we know that's important for customers
    when we are in planning cycle.
