MM3000 BOMs

[SimonBuck]

Despite transferring to a new system (Astea) for our Service Operations, we still have our old HP3000 switched on and running MM3000 to allow our engineers to access old BOMs when they field queries about old petrol pumps. Only current BOMs were transferred to the Astea 5 years ago as it has limited BOM capability. Managent are keen to swicth off the old HP3000 but our engineers insist that they still need access to old BOMs.

Does anyone know of an application where these old BOMs could be downloaded for review purposes?

You'll need to find someone familiar with MPE and MM3000 to read the database and format the result into a form that a modern database can use. BOM (I assume Bill Of Materials)  is likely a complex data collection so a simple ASCII file won't be usable. for searchng.

MPE went out of support a decade ago and all boards for that OS were deleted.

No idea when MM 3000 went out of support?

Is it possible to use the report package changing the target to a file then you can view offline.

i also thought you could port part or all of the boms to other sw like shedulex so you must be able to port to another viewer.

not sure that helps

cheers ex MM3000 WW support for HP

Only four years late in seeing this! Hope you solved the problem.

The Image database came with a simple Query reporting language.

Worst case would be for you to transfer Structure records into Excel to give single-level BOMs.

As an early UK user of MM3000 I did the MPE training course in 1978!
