1 Overview—MPE/iX Release 6.0
(C.60.00)
This Communicator 3000 provides general and detailed information on
the new and enhanced functionality for the MPE/iX 6.0 Release
(C.60.00), as well as information on release strategy and installation
prerequisites.
MPE/iX 6.0 will accumulate all of the functionality previously released
on MPE/iX 5.5 Express releases such as Year 2000 enhancements,
ODBCLink/SE—a 32-bit driver from M.B. Foster Associates, and
B-Tree functionality with IMAGE/SQL. In addition, it will also offer
support for user-defined job queues—for improved system
management, SAMBA—for NT integration, Java, FTP enhancements,
and many more enhancements.
Starting with Release 5.5, Hewlett-Packard distributes HP 3000
Release tapes in Native Mode STORE format. Your installation
personnel do not need to be retrained—the installation steps are
unchanged. However, since Native Mode STORE generally performs
better than Compatibility Mode STORE, you will probably see some
significant performance improvements during your installation.
