Peter, I used it briefly a couple of years ago. It certainly works well enough. The problem I had related to password administration. When you set it up in Oracle, you need to provide the password to an id on the OS/390 system. Our OS/390 system requires us to change passwords every 30 days. This meant we had to make a corresponding change to the database link in Oracle. We are no longer using the product.

If anyone on the list has actual experience doing this I would be interested in your feedback. thanks, Peter Schauss Northrop Grumman Corporation 516-346-3148 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Schauss, Peter INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
