1088.0. "DB2 Migrations to Rdb?" by YUPPY::THOMPSON () Mon Feb 17 1992 16:11

Does anyone know of a customer who has moved from DB2 to Rdb and migrated its 
database?

I'm working with an IBM site that is thinking of moving a major system to VAX 
and wants to talk to someone who has done it before.

1088.1what about the front end ?KCOHUB::DAZOFF::DUNCANGerry Duncan @KCO, 452-3445Wed Feb 19 1992 01:035
	Unless this is a batch application ... the more difficult part of
	the migration is the {CICS | IMS | etc } front end.  Just curious ..
	how is your customer planning to handle this issue ?

    It will be handled by Andersen's Foundation product, which can produce
    either CICS/BMS or ACMS/DECforms output.
    
    I'm on this project too, so I hope Robert doesn't mind me butting in on
    his note.

1088.3Talk to AndersenBROKE::THOMASAnne Thomas DTN 264-6094Wed Apr 08 1992 19:196
    I'd check with Andersen.  I bet they've done this kind of thing before.
    
    Also, Mass Mutual in Springfield, MA recently started a project to 
    convert IBM systems (not necessarily DB2) to VMS and Rdb.

1088.4All's well that ends well...FILTON::BIRCHPlease Mr Music, will you play?Thu Apr 09 1992 12:597
    Well, for anyone who's interested, we found a reference site for DB2 to
    Rdb conversion. I won't post the account's name in this file, but if
    anyone needs to know, mail me and I'll mail you the relevant names.
    
    Cheers
