  Data-Driven Application Environments? (BizTalk) 
 The Question is:
 
We are proposing for the construction of an OpenVMS application for the Dutch
 Railway organisation that must contain editable businessrules. The client
 wants to maintain/change/update the business rules after the final delivery.
 
In a microsoft environment we would propose to use Bizztalk. I am curious what
 kind of EAI products with configurable business rules are available for the
 OpenVMS platform. Also sofware development frameworks that support this
 functionality are a possibil
ity for constructing this application
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The Answer is :
 
  Through all the hype, your customer seeks a data-driven environment.
 
  SOAP, XML and various BizTalk components are available on OpenVMS,
  as are packages such as Attunity Connect, and distributed and
  transaction processing support with DECdtm/XA, and distributed
  databases from Oracle and other vendors.  These provide the basis
  for any data-driven apploication environment.
 
  For available software products and packages, please see the catalog
  of software packages referenced in the OpenVMS FAQ.
