> I have thought about going to dataqueues and skip all that SQL-stuff. > Are there dataqueue tools for Unix and Win2K systems (Visual Basic)? I'm not aware of dataqueue tools for Unix, and I've had major stability problems with data queues in Windows (I was using RUMBA, though, not client access) Sockets, however, are available on all of those systems... assuming that they're all able to talk TCP/IP to each other. Unlike data queues, sockets are real-time. (A data queue doesn't know if there's a program listening for entries. If there's no program there, it simply queues the entries for later processing. Whereas, a socket scenario, there has to be a program listening, or you get an error.) Your Unix programmers will almost certainly be familiar with socket programming, it's very common on Unix systems. Your Windows programmers might be familiar... your iSeries programmers probably aren't, but I've got a tutorial for them! :) http://www.scottklement.com/rpg/socktut/ If you don't want to go with sockets, you might explore MQ Series. Although I haven't used it, I know someone who uses it for this type of processing, and he's happy with it.
