If your objective is to perform an efficient e3000 migration, you cannot avoid taking some features of MPE with you. This is where MPUX fits in.

MPUX supplies required MPE services on top of the target operating system. This includes support for jobs, file systems, users and accounts and much more.
An important benefit of MPUX is that this happens transparently: migrated applications are never isolated from the native operating environment.

MPUX takes care of the following essential services:

MPE Intrinsics

MPUX brings intrinsics to your new box. This includes support for file system, process, catalog, XDS, NetIPC and System functions.

MPE Utilities

MPE utilities like FCOPY, SORT and MERGE are available in MPUX as well. They are compatible both in interface as well as in operation.

Sub-systems

MPUX supplies an MPE-compatible spooler, batch sub-system and Job & Session management.

CLI & JCL

MPUX includes an MPE-compatible commandline interface. The JCL processor implements all relevant job control commands.

MPUX is available as part of a ViaNova 3000 migration solution or separately as boxed product.

MPUX runs on open systems, including HP-UX (PA-RISC, Itanium), Linux (ia32) and Windows NT/2K/XP (ia32). Versions for other platforms are available on request.
