984.0. "Gateway to Adabas?" by HSOMAI::STOUT () Thu Sep 05 1991 22:15

    Does anyone know of a gateway for Adabas running in the VAX
    environment.  We have a customer that needs a RdbAccess type of gateway
    to Adabas.

	Try talking to the RdbAccess folks. The base code for RdbAccess for RMS was designed to allow implementation of arbitrary data sources. The idea was originally to let EIS implement access for various customized data sources that a customer might have. I don't know what ever happened with the idea, but if its still alive (for example, if they are documenting how to do it) then perhaps you could propose building an RdbAccess for Adabas for this customer!
984.2	You might try using Natural	BROKE::THOMAS	Anne Thomas DTN 264-6094	`Mon Oct 07 1991 23:00`	10
	The next version of RdbAccess for RMS is planned to be split apart. There will be a basic Non-SQL Data Server, an RMS/VSAM Driver, and Driver Development Toolkit. The Driver Development Toolkit allows you to build your own driver to access whatever data structures you choose. You might be able to find someone to build you an Adabas driver. But for a more immediate solution -- why don't you suggest that the user use Natural which can access both Rdb and Adabas (and DB2 and Adabas on MVS).
