RE: MIMIX/TURNOVER

John,

These are two completely seperate products....

MIMIX is for High Availability (object and data replication to a remote
host), while TurnOver is a project tracking and software change management
system.  

I've used both, though my experience with MIMIX is very limited...  

Mimix - automatically replicates any defined object from your production
environment to a remote as400/iSeries.  The product is more or less the
Cadillac of HA software, and offeres a bewildering array of operational
features.  Paired systems can be configured for failover, so that if your
production site gets disabled, your users would switch to the hotsite
automagically.....  

TurnOver - Offers task management via a suite of helpdesk and project
management subsystems.  Tasks can become software change requests, where
developers are allowed to safely obtain source code and objects, and promote
these changes through a series of change environments.  The change
management features control all aspects of the development cycle, including
QA (Quality Assutance) and testing environments.  All work is managed via
"forms", which describes the target environment and objects that are being
promoted.  TurnOver allows for source and object distribution to remote
production hosts, in the case where a development host is used.  Softlanding
is now offering some web-based components that deliver end-user interfaces
via WebsphereExpress servers on the iSeries.

Hope this helps....

I am looking for any working knowledge of MIMIX/TURNOVER. Just some general
discussion of how it works, etc would be greatly appreciated
