986.0. "oracle to rdb migration" by POBOX::OLEARY () Tue Sep 10 1991 23:54

    Has anyone recently done a migration (not conversion) from ORACLE to
    Rdb?  If so, do you have a project plan that I can use as a reference?
    The migration center's estimate for a CONVERSION was too high to 
    present to the customer.  We are looking for a phased approach in order
    to make the migration less painful.
    
    Thank you for any suggestions.

986.1Seems obvious to me ....SWAM2::MCCARTHY_LANow, don't get me wrong, but...Wed Sep 11 1991 01:092
    Why don't you ask the migration center for their project plan? They
    must have one if they were willing to price the business.
986.2thank's for the advicePOBOX::OLEARYSat Sep 14 1991 02:0910
    Thank's.  The migration may be a good place to start.  I've read their
    estimation document and assume they are using tools to convert most of
    the code.  I'm looking for a phased re-development approach in order to
    make the migration easier to sell.  Conversion by the Migration Center
    has already been ruled out due to cost ($450,000).
    
    I think I'll try re-estimating the migration using an application
    generator like MIRA.  Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

    The Center for Migration Services has developed a variety of migration 
    plans as a result of feasibility studies.  Each plan is customized for a
    customer's environment and preferred migration strategy, but they do have 
    some common features.  Please contact our hotline, DTN 523-2002, for more 
    information.
