Using a Remote Database

9 Using a Remote Database

You can access a TurboIMAGE/XL database that resides on one HP 3000 computer system

while operating a session on another HP 3000 computer system if both systems are

conﬁgured with Network Services capability. You can access a TurboIMAGE/V database

from an MPE/iX system or a TurboIMAGE/XL database from an MPE V system.

Programmatically accessing an IMAGE/3000 database from a TurboIMAGE/XL database

requires another MPE V system with NS/3000 and TurboIMAGE/V acting as an

intermediate node. The limits on the remote database must not exceed those allowed on

the local system, or programmatic access will not be successful.

You can use a database on a remote HP 3000 either from a program that is running on the

remote system or from a program running on your local HP 3000. There are various ways

to open a communications line and initiate a remote session. For example, you can

establish a remote session through a communications link then run a remote program

accessing a database on the remote machine as illustrated in Figure 9-1.

Manual.
