 With
the increasing lack of available hardware and software support for Data
General's proprietary operating system, AOS/VS,
businesses using this platform have become understandably concerned about the
longevity of their Data General INFOS applications and data files.
In addition to this concern, the inherent drawbacks in using an older,
unsupported product, such as the significant downtime caused by the
deficiencies in INFOS checkpointing and system recovery, has caused many
businesses to consider the benefits of moving to a more widely-supported
platform in order to use a more feature-rich, robust data manager. Unfortunately,
the cost of a rewrite for businesses heavily invested in their INFOS-based
applications is usually prohibitive. If your company is facing these or
similar problems, Datatek has the solution.
 By
migrating to a more current platform and replacing the
INFOS data manager with Datatek's Transaction-Based Access Method (TBAM)
data manager, your company can retain the investment made in its
applications while obtaining the benefits of a more up-to-date system.
TBAM supports full INFOS functionality, as well as new features, such as
transactions and hands-off recovery.
With TBAM, there are no longer costly checkpointing or recovery delays.
Additionally, a COBOL
precompiler is included with the TBAM product, allowing programmers to continue
using the Data General COBOL INFOS statements with which they are
familiar. TBAM also supports the INFOS library calls that were
available for use with other Data General languages. As part of the
migration, Datatek utilities are used to load the
INFOS data into the corresponding TBAM databases.
For over a decade, Datatek
has used its suite of
products and tools to quickly and cost-effectively move businesses'
INFOS applications and databases to Open Systems. With an INFOS to
TBAM migration, your company can realize the advantages
and cost benefits of Open Systems today, rather than months or years from now.
