Eloquence MPE client library
This is a port of the Eloquence image3k library to MPE that allows
to access remote Eloquence databases from MPE.
When used it captures the HP3000 TurboIMAGE intrinsic calls and
redirects them towards an Eloquence database on a remote system.
Please refer to the location below for detailed installation
instructions:
http://eloquence.marxmeier.com/support/B07/mpeclient/
Requirements:
-------------
- MPE/iX version 6.0 or above
- Functional POSIX environment
- The HP 3000 is connected to a network
Limitations:
------------
* The Eloquence client library is not compatible with TPI products
(Superdex/Omnidex). However you may use the TPI functions included
with the Eloquence server as a replacement.
* The client redirects all IMAGE access to Eloquence.
Future versions will likely be enhanced to make this configurable,
so that certain databases can be remote, while others can be local.
* Using file equations with databases will likely not work.
* As specified in the Eloquence documentation
(http://eloquence.marxmeier.com/support/B07/relnotes/B0700/hp3k/index.html),
the Eloquence database is close but not 100% compatible to TurboIMAGE.
As a consequence, the TurboIMAGE utilities (such as DBUTIL) will not
work with the Eloquence client XL.
* Programs that access remote Eloquence databases via the client XL
must make use of standard TurboIMAGE intrinsics. Privileged direct
access to data set files is not supported.
* Accessing a database remotely is expected to be noticeably slower
than acessing a local database.
Download and installation
-------------------------
The Eloquence image3k library is available for download in three
formats:
eloqstd.wrq - WRQ Labels format
eloqstd.bin - STORE format
eloqtar.tar - tar format
The md5sum file provides the MD5 checksums of the download files.
The following files are installed:
IMAGE3K.PUB.ELOQ - the NMXL Eloquence client library
README.PUB.ELOQ - a "quick start" guide
Installation requires SM capabilities.
WRQ labels format
-----------------
1. Upload eloqstd.wrq to the file ELOQSTD.PUB.SYS on your HP 3000.
It is important that you use the LABELS transfer type.
2. On your HP 3000, verify that the ELOQSTD file looks correct:
:LISTF ELOQSTD,2
ACCOUNT= SYS GROUP= PUB
FILENAME CODE ------------LOGICAL RECORD----------- ----SPACE----
SIZE TYP EOF LIMIT R/B SECTORS #X MX
ELOQSTD STORE 128W FB 2436 16776959 1 4096 5 32
Please verify that the file code is STORE, the file record is 128W FB,
and the EOF must match what you see above.
3. Run the installation macro file (ELOQINST.PUB.SYS) from the archive:
:file e=eloqstd;dev=disc
:restore *e;eloqinst.pub.sys;local;show
:xeq eloqinst
STORE format
------------
1. Upload eloqstd.bin to the file ELOQSTD.PUB.SYS on your HP 3000.
It is important that you use the BINARY transfer type.
Beloq is a sample ftp session:
> binary
> cd /SYS/PUB/
> put eloqstd.bin ELOQSTD;rec=128,1,F,binary;code=2501
> bye
2. On your HP 3000, verify that the ELOQSTD file looks correct:
:LISTF ELOQSTD,2
ACCOUNT= SYS GROUP= PUB
FILENAME CODE ------------LOGICAL RECORD----------- ----SPACE----
SIZE TYP EOF LIMIT R/B SECTORS #X MX
ELOQSTD STORE 128W FB 2436 204800 1 2448 5 8
Please verify that the file code is STORE, the file record is 128W FB,
and the EOF must match what you see above.
3. Run the installation macro file (ELOQINST.PUB.SYS) from the archive:
:file e=eloqstd;dev=disc
:restore *e;eloqinst.pub.sys;local;show
:xeq eloqinst
TAR format
----------
1. Upload eloqstd.tar to the file ELOQSTD.PUB.SYS on your HP 3000.
It is important that you use the BINARY transfer type.
Beloq is a sample ftp session:
> binary
> cd /SYS/PUB/
> put eloqtar.tar ELOQTAR;REC=128,,V,BINARY
> bye
2. On your HP 3000, verify that the ELOQSTD file looks correct:
:LISTF ELOQSTD,2
ACCOUNT= SYS GROUP= PUB
FILENAME CODE ------------LOGICAL RECORD----------- ----SPACE----
SIZE TYP EOF LIMIT R/B SECTORS #X MX
ELOQTAR 128W VB 2460 204800 1 2512 5 8
Please verify that the file code is STORE, the file record is 128W VB,
and the EOF must match what you see above.
3. Run the installation macro file (ELOQINST.PUB.SYS) from the archive:
:tar.hpbin.sys "xvfo ./ELOQTAR ./ELOQINST"
:xeq eloqinst eloqtar
