Two Questions regarding Ingres.
1) We are currently running Version 5 on a VAX Cluster and are preparing for
the quantum leap to Version 6. I am looking for information from anyone that
has done this. Are there are any concealed pitfalls ?
We need to convert the Administrative Test and Production databases to take
advantage of improved performance and increased functionality with V6.
But must leave the Student's (Teaching) & Staff's personal databases on
Version 5 until the end of the Academic/Teaching year.
We also have a significant number of ABF Applications in the Administrative
DB which must run through the 5-6 Gateway until we incrementally convert
them to V6.
2) I am looking for information regarding Finance Systems written for Ingres.
Gen.Ledger, Acc.Payable, Acc.Recievable, Assets & Deprec, Inv.Man, P.Order
We currently have a modified 'Off the Shelf' package which is all Cobol.
The Distributer is planning to convert it for Oracle which won't suit us
as all our Administrative Systems are Ingres.
