I read that DECmigrate (VEST) can work along with MMS in migrating
large scale applications.
In essence, VEST creates MMS description file which direct MMS
to issue VEST commands that translate interdependent images in
the correct order.
My assumption is I only have the images not the source files,
How does MMS come into the picture ? do I need to define anything
first with MMS ?
Is my following presumed steps of using VEST with MMS correct ? :
1) install MMS and VEST on ALPHA
2) copy VAX images to ALPHA
3) VEST /dependency image.exe (VAX image) ---> image.mms file
4) @VEST_MMS_DRIVER.COM image.mms ---> image_tv.exe (ALPHA image)
now where is the driver program VEST_MMS_DRIVER.COM mentioned in
the VEST's HELP located ?
I need help to understand the proper use of VEST with MMS.

You don't need source files. The MMS file created will be
specifically for VESTing purposes.

Looks right.

It's in SYS$SYSTEM.

In addition, when you have questions on things like COBOL, BASIC,
MMS and so forth -- try doing a dir/title={COBOL, BASIC, MMS} first
before asking. Chances are your question has been asked and answered
elsewhere.
In addition, there's a whole section in the guide on using VEST
with MMS. See section 2.3. There's no subsitute for doing some
serious reading.
