258.0. "DDD 6.0 and RDB V7.0 " by ORAREP::VAXRIO::63230::abreu () Wed Jan 08 1997 06:30

Hi,

    I have a customer that is running Rdb 6.0-5 and Rdb 6.1-4 with DDD V6.0. 
They want to upgrade one of their alphas machines that is running RDB 6.1-4 
to RDB V7.0 and VMS 7.0 . They are concerned if their transfers will continue 
working.  Does VDD V6.0 running on a machine with RDB 6.0-5 or RDB 6.1-4 
will work properly getting data or sending data to a machine with RDB 7.0 ? 

    Any restrictions ?

    Marcia,
    
    I presume the problem is that all these machines are in the same
    cluster.  If that is so, they have one of three choices:
    
    1) Continue to run DDD 6.0 on the machines that have Rdb 6.0 or 6.1
       and some VMS version less than 7.0, but not run DDD 6.0 on the
       Rdb 7.0 VMS 7.0 Alpha system, or
    
    2) Install ROR 7.0 (ROR is the new acronym for DDD) on the Alpha
       machine that runs VMS 7.0 and Rdb 7.0 and stop running DDD 6.0
       on the other machines, or
    
    3) Install ROR 7.0 on all machines in your cluster and run it with
       either Rdb 6.1 or 7.0.
    
    We do not support two versions of DDD/ROR on the same cluster.
    
    DDD 6.0 will not work locally with Rdb 7.0 or VMS 7.0.
    
    ROR 7.0 will work with VMS 6.1 or 7.0 on Alpha and VMS 5.5-2 on up for
    VAX and either Rdb 6.1 or 7.0.
    
    Running ROR 7.0 with Rdb 6.0 has restrictions.  You can transfer to remote
    systems that have Rdb 6.0, but you cannot run ROR 7.0 to access local Rdb
    6.0 databases.
