Migration From NS 3000/V to NS 3000/iX Network Services
Conversion Checklist: NS 3000/V to NS 3000/iX
Conversion Checklist: NS 3000/V to
NS 3000/iX
The following checklist is to help you with migrating NS 3000/V
software to NS 3000/iX on MPE/iX:
1. Identify applications using Program-to-Program Communications
(PTOP). PTOP is not supported, so any PTOP applications must be
modified so that they can run on an MPE/iX based machine. If you
wish to convert your PTOP applications so that they can run on
RPM and NetIPC, refer to the translation procedures in Appendix B
of the NetIPC 3000/iX Programmer’s Reference Manual
2. To move applications on HP3000s that use the NS 3000/V
capabilities of Virtual Terminal, Remote File Access, Remote Data
Base Access, Network File Transfer, and Remote Process
Management to an MPE/iX based system, use either: a) the DSCOPY
command, or b) the MPE/iX STORE command to store the
applications on a tape, and then use the MPE/iX RESTORE command
to restore them on the new system. They will run with NS 3000/iX
with no recompilation necessary in most cases.
