DEC Forms & Web_Enabled

[Mahmoud_1]

Dear All,
One of my customers is running a legacy system using Oracle RDB with Cobol & DECForms.
He wants to upgrade the system (New HardWare) and he wants to make the DECForms web enabled.
The application is an Arabic language so if any know how it will be performed or any commpany working with this issue or if there are any software regarding to this.
Best Regards

DeCForms supports arabic, as well as the DECforms web connector, which presents the forms to a browser...

OR are you looking for more than that?

Dear All,
Thanks for fast response, But in fact I Asked HP but they told us that its not orderable now.
So how we can order it if its support Arabic.
Best Regards

Is it DECforms is not orderable (seems strange as they are doing a field test of the itanium port at present so it is not a dead product)

or DECforms WebConnector is not orderable?

[Mahmoud_1]

Dear All,
The WebConnecter is not orderable.
So if any can tell me from where can I order this S/W. I have OpenVMS version 8.2
It will be appreciated.
Regards.
Mahmoud.

Current version of DECForms is V3.3, and is compatible with VMS up to V7.3-2. There is a DECforms V4.0 due for release in First Quarter, Calendar 06 (i.e. Jan-Mar next year). I can't see any evidence of the web connector as a separate kit, so it would appear to be an optional component of DECforms. Although you may want to ratify that with the support folk, and or a product manager.

Hi to All,
I found in Hp site the TP_Web_Connecter is this the S/W that we are looking for, or does this help in my customer case (DECforms Application).

TP Web Connector is for ACMS applications.
I think it worth checking if DECforms now includes web connector (hence it can't be ordered as a seperate item).

[Shael Richmond]

I believe I saw where HP discontinued the web connector product. That's probably why it isn't orderable.

For a definitive answer, you probably want to talk to Rick Mclaughlin on +1 603 884 0992 -

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/commercial/decforms/ seems to be a repository of information around decforms and web connector.
