Messaging systems for VMS

Brian Reiter — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 07:57:58 GMT

Hi Folks,

I've been asked to investigate messaging systems for VMS, the aim is to get messages from a VMS host to another system (could be VMS or a PC or anything).

I've looked at RTR which looked promising up to a point, the synchronous nature (effectively 1 transaction at a time) precludes its use.

Are the other systems (MessageQ, TIBCO) still available? If they are how do you get a trial license? The various sites seem to offer details for everything but a trial.

Hope you can help

cheers

Brian

Brian,

Can personally reccomend IBM Websphere MQ.

It's proven extremely reliable in our 24/7 environment, and comes with a nice API too. Works with VAX, AXP & IA64

Hope this helps,

Jeff
