Couldn't this be an excuse to develop DECmessageQ Client for SNI/BS2000 using
OSI Transport.
The trouble is just finding the $'s. ;-}

| Bravo!
You've got the point! We absolutely can't ask our customer to pay extra-money
for this project.
We were thinking about using X.400 to let two systems talk each other, but
we are not aware enough about what Siemens could offer in this area.
They told us there is no problem, but they still never signed any tachnical
specification on that.....
Ciao :-)

There are lots of ways of interoperation with Siemens, FTSIE being just one
method. Amongst these are OSI-, TCP- and of course SNI/Siemens based.
What about program-to-program communication over OSI Transport maybe that's
more suitable if the application is time critical. That of course means that
you would need to stick some effort in development and that of course on both
platforms. As far FTSIE is concerned I have only seen it used in a quasi 'time
critical' area if the Transport is LAN ie. IEEE 802.3. Examples of this where
FTSIE is (mis)used is in the manaufaturing area.
I wasn't only joking about DECmessageQ client for BS2000 - I think someone here
in GY is seriously studying this issue. I will try to get you more info on this.
If you need more info regarding interoperability send me mail.
Nessun problema! ;-)

| 144.4 | Use VAX FTAM - Doc Type = FTAM-1 as approximation | BIKINI::DITE | Phase V makes ~~~ OK! | Mon Jul 27 1992 18:55 | 13 |
| Ciao,
in the abscence of any replies and any benchmarks (which would be the
best thing to do of course) I suggest that you use figures such as VAX FTAM
performance figures (see Network Buyers Guide 1990- ) Document Type FTAM-1 over
LAN to get to a rough approximation.
Remember there should be less protocol-overhead with FTSIE than with FTAM.

PS. We'd be quite happy to do Benchmarking for you
just send me your Cost centre # ;-}

Hi Antonella,
It took a while to get the answers from the specialists,
as they are all busy in different projects these days.
One value to mention is that it takes 5 to 10 sec to transfer even
an empty file due to the fact that the connection has to
be established every time. This means that transferring
a large number of relativeley small files, you have an enormous
overhead due to this fact.
Unfortunately, every file has to be transferred separately
(you can't collect a number of files before you open the connection).
You can't establish a permanent connection for multiple files either.
As a rule, you can transfer 1 MB per min - depending on CPU
and network load.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Ulrike
