    Hi Cristina,
    
    We've never done it, but if the EDA solution is complete and it works 
    then we should work with it.  
    
    You can use the Sybase gateway to write to Sybase.  Currently to use
    DDD you will need an Rdb database available - I'm not sure that is in
    your environment.  You can move data from one database to other simply
    by using interactive SQL.
    
    You would need:
    
    Digital 2100 side                   Unisys side
    -----------------                   -----------
    Rdb trans. gway to EDA/SQL          EDA/SQL Server
    Rdb trans. gway to Sybase
    Sybase Open Client
    EDA/SQL Client
    
    Sorry we have no way of testing this in house...

    Hi,
    
    I'm sorry, no Rdb licenses. So, DDD not allowed.
    Do Rdb trans. gway to EDA/SQL e
    Sybase mean DBI Gtw to EDA/SQL and DBI Gtw to Sybase?
    Not having Rdb, what would you suggest? 
    I know that EDA has a script 'simulating' an replicator like 
    DDD but not with so many features... Any other choices?
    
    Thanks,
    Cristina.

    Hi Cristina,
    
    Yes, the Rdb Transparent Gateways are the new names for the DBI
    gateways.
    
    In terms of using a replication product, there seems to be a problem
    there.  It would work from interactive SQL, but someone would need to
    do the programming that causes transfers to happen, etc.

    Not that this will help either, but I need to mention it for others who
    might be reading this note:
    
    DDD (the Replication Option for Rdb), as an alternative to requiring
    Rdb also works if you have Oracle7 (or OracleN) instead plus the
    Transparent gateway to Oracle.

|  |     Hi,
    
    in this case to read from a DMS II database and write into a Sybase,
    I need the customer needs to buy a Common Components license 
    to use DBI Gtw for EDA and DBI Gtw for Sybase, right?
    (as the customer does not have Rdb).
    
    If he wants to build programs to schedule some 'transfers' using 
    some language such as Cobol for instance, does he use the SQL
    commands of Rdb?
    
    IBI offers an EDA Agent that could be useful to 'transfer' data.
    But it doesn't have all features DDD has. If the customer would
    like to buy Rdb to use DDD and its features, he could read data
    from DMS II and write into a Sybase database, right? Still only
    extraction is supported? Replication transfer only supported
    if we have Rdb as source databases?
    
    Thanks,
    Cristina.

    If the customer buys the gateways, they get use of interactive SQL.  If
    they want to do sql programming (with module or precompilers) then they
    need to buy the tools (I think for Rdb the tools are now called
    programmer 2000).

    Using cobol would require the Rdb cobol pre or module compilers.  These
    use Rdb SQL.  To get these tools, they would need Rdb's programmer 2000
    tools

    The answers to the questions are "Yes", "Yes", and "Yes"
