1127.0. "Is DECNET a requirement for DBI?" by svrav1.au.oracle.com::DLAWLER () Thu Feb 20 1997 01:42

Hi,

Is it true that DECNET is a requirement to use remote links to RDB databases?  

DBI requires DECDTM for remote links to Rdb,DBMS etc.
DECDTM requires DECNET (TCP/IP on the wish list according to DEC).
Therefore any VMS sites using TCPIP as their only transport, can't use DBI for
remote Rdb links. (or use 2pc for that matter!)

I apologise if this is documented and I haven't seen it.

Cheers,
Dennis.

1127.1Sounds like a real issue...BROKE::ABUGOVThu Feb 20 1997 07:5713
    
    Hi Dennis,
    
    I know we test our tcp/ip connectivity to remote Rdb databases, but in
    fact I can't think of a machine we've tested on that doesn't have
    DECnet, so while the transport we use for connectivity to Rdb is tcp/ip
    i guess there could be decnet action using ddtm under the covers. 
    There is a way to disable ddtm if this is truly a problem, please send
    mail if you need more info as I do not want to document it here.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Dan
