Re: Your opinions about MIMIX -- MIDRANGE-L

David,

  Being the DataMirror Guy I don't know as much as I SHOULD about the 
competition, but I THINK
Promoter will move a changed DB File to the backup system (such as if the 
record layout is changed).

  IF that is correct, then Yes, the newest addition to the DataMirror product 
line, DBMirror will do
that.  It is part of the High Availability suite and it only works between 
AS/400's.

  IF what I guessed is incorrect then pleast explain and I'll let you know how 
DM can do it.
