Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Alternatives to Pathworks?
Marc,
If you need to copy the file across, then
You could use Samba or NFS but I think both of those would require
TCP.
Similarly for FTP.
So, basically it appears you need something to allow transfer by Decnet rather than Pathworks.
I take it your current NT connects via Decnet to Pathworks?
Alternatively, Can the file be loaded into the database direct from the NT server?
(If the VMS server doesn't have TCP then this would require Net8 /
SQLNet to work over (say) Decnet - consult Oracle to see if this can be
done).
Can you copy it via some means to a different VMS server and then copy it
from that server to the final server?
If your NT PC is running Decnet, can you just do a straight Decnet copy from the NT machine to the VMS server?
HTH,
Bruce Reardon

Dear list,
we have a 8.1.7 running on NT4. A NT-service copies flatfiles from a VAX/VMS and starts a batch, which imports the data into the DB. VMS is reached via Pathworks. Now, when Pathworks is installed an the machine running the instance, the instance seems to become instable and dies under some circumstances. Is there any alternative to pathworks? Our customer don't want to install TCP on VMS, because the machine is at it's limit.
Thanks in advance
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
