1376.0. "using VEST with MMS" by HANDVC::STEVELIU () Thu Mar 13 1997 02:35

    
    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,
    if you have worked with VEST and MMS before, can you show me how 
    that works with an example ? 
    
    How does MMS come into the picture ? do I need to define anything
    first with MMS ?
    
    Is my following assumption of the prerequisites 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 located ?
    
    I need help to understand using VEST with MMS.
