If your code is complete, up-to-date, and does not have any outside dependencies, the transition
from Alpha to Integrity is a straightforward process of "re-compile, re-link, and re-qualify".
While this approach works well, there are many obstacles that can prevent the use of this technique.
This presentation will explain how to migrate to Integrity when the easy approach is not
feasible. Many ISVs, OEMs, and end-users have environments including hundreds or thousands of
inter-dependent programs, often composed of a complex of products and custom software, maintained
by a combination of outside organizations and internal teams. We will examine how to organize
the migration of a large-scale environment from Alpha to HP Integrity, without user
disruption or business risk.
Several areas will be reviewed, including:
- When to quickly migrate to HP OpenVMS on Integrity by re-compiling, re-linking, and
re-qualifying
- Why many organizations cannot use an "all-at-once" strategy
- How unique OpenVMS capabilities allow organizations to assimilate HP Integrity
servers in a phased, structured, extremely low-risk approach
- How OpenVMS clustering and image translation capabilities offer end-user
management and technical staffs a unique degree of flexibility in transitioning
to new architectures and equipment
