Messaging systems for VMS

[Brian Reiter]

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

Hi Brian

I'm using Bea Message Queue, you can read more about it in

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
