Oracle mainframe gateways
Now that Oracle is no longer enhancing their z/OS database server and client applications I was surprised to see that they apparently are still enhancing their "gateway" products; specifically "Oracle Gateway for IMS" and "Oracle Gateway for VSAM". Anyone use these? Anyone know Oracle's future direction with regard to them? Doesn't solve my issue of getting from z/OS to Oracle, but could help with distributed clients getting to our IMS and VSAM data, if that's somethine we want to do. Yes, I know there are many other products that can be used for this.

Re: Oracle mainframe gateways
Frank : don't know better details, since we don't use that functionality, but one of the supposed abilities of the "Oracle Transparent Gateway for DB2" (OTGDB2) was as a 2-way conduit ie. not only Oracle to DB2 (our usage) but DB2 to Oracle. You might investigate the IMS gateway to verify that It *doesn't* offer outbound queries as well. --> signature = 6 lines follows <-- Neil Duffee, Joe SysProg, U d'Ottawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uottawa.ca/ ~nduffee "How *do* you plan for something like that?"
