Does Pathworks Run as a Windows Service?
can you tell me if Pathworks runs as a Windows Service?
Also, is there any support for JAVA or .NET?
Cheers,
Kieran

Re: Does Pathworks Run as a Windows Service?
For details of PATHWORKS, see this page for some very good documentation:-
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/pathworksav.html
If you are asking "Is there any support for JAVA on OpenVMS", then the answer is yes, and you should follow the various links from here:-
http://h18012.www1.hp.com/java/alpha/
AFAIK there is no native .NET support

Re: Does Pathworks Run as a Windows Service?
what sort of "support" are you looking for?
Pathworks32 is the PC client software, so you have the same Java and .NET support that your PC's OS provides.
From the Pathworks32 manual:-
Introduction
DIGITAL PATHWORKS 32 software provides the following for application developers:
· Application programming interfaces (APIs) that provide a consistent user interface
across multiple transports and transport protocols
· Selective dynamic link libraries (DLLs) for Microsoft Windows programming
As such, Pathworks32 is for networking. Would you say that TCP/IP had support for Java and .NET?
If you could indicate what you are trying to achieve, it might make the question a bit clearer.

Duncan

Re: Does Pathworks Run as a Windows Service?
At present we have 2 VMS boxes talking over DECnet, TCP and UDP using a variation of FTP, DCL file COPY and application level IO.
My task is to work out how to replace one of the VMS boxes without touching the other. Therefore I need to come up with a plan to emulate the soon to be defunct VMS box with a Windows Server Service (daemon!) written in Java (.NET has been dropped since my original posting).
The questions posed for Pathworks32 are:
1. Can it be run as a headless app ?
2. Is there native support for Java ?
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Kieran

Re: Does Pathworks Run as a Windows Service?
full details of Pathworks32 can be found here:-
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/pathworks32/
I suggest that you have a good read of the documentation.
There is no concept of Java support for any of the networking protocols. I suspect that what you want is access to the Pathworks32 interfaces from Java. You will get this information from the API documentation. You can find this on the Pathworks32 CD-ROM under the docs/pw_api folder.

In all liklihood, all PATHWORKS32 is providing you is the DECnet transport.
The file copy is likely to be easy to solve. Just use FTP where you currently use DCL.
The application level I/O might require more effort. You are probably using some form of task to task communication across DECnet. For this you will need to modify your applicatons to use sockets or similar.
It should be a fairly straight forward effort to change you application to eliminate the use of PATHWORKS 32 and thereby make it easy to eliminate the VMS server. It will take some effort, but, it shouldn't be a hard to solve problem.
Good luck.

You could emulate any VMS box using an emulator software like Charon-Vax o SimH. With an emulator you can remove a VMS Box without any change of your application.
If you are using just standard TCP/IP functions (no DECnet API) and your VMS box is a simple file server, you can replace it with any kind of server (U*X, Windows or VMS).
Because you ask for Java or .NET support, I guess you want to replace an application server. In this case, you need to plan a detailed project of porting your application. Read documentation about migration.
Hope this help.
