- Also the DECUS product MA Queue and Routing Software
- also supports this. We have used both, and find that
- either can be used intercangeably. One of our customers
- discarded DEC Message Queue when it was still called
- PAMs and went to the DECUS product as PAMs didn't
- meet there needs. The recovery files needed to be
- resequenced every week, making the applications
- unavailable (they were implemented with RMS keyed
- files). We've used DMQ but there are some
- gotchas. DECUS won't have the current release of the
- MA Queue and Routing Software until this fall (when
- IPACT submits the upgrades). Current release of
- the MAQ product is 5.1.
-
- Routers are available for IMS, OS/2, RSX11MPlus,
- DAE, DMQ, and with a little work, CICS. Not all of
- these are currently in the public domain.
