Using NS3000/XL Network Services

Conversion Checklist:  NS3000/V to NS3000/XL 

The following checklist is to help you with migrating NS3000/V software
to NS3000/XL on MPE XL:

   1.  Identify applications using Program-to-Program Communications
       (PTOP). PTOP is not supported, so any PTOP applications must be
       translated so that they can run on an MPE XL based machine.  If
       you wish to translate your PTOP applications so that they can run
       on RPM and NetIPC, refer to the translation procedures in Appendix
       B of the NetIPC 3000/XL Programmer's Reference Manual. 

   2.  To move applications on HP3000s that use the NS3000/V capabilities
       of Virtual Terminal, Remote File Access, Remote Data Base Access,
       Network File Transfer, and Remote Process Management to an MPE XL
       based system, use either:  a) the  DSCOPY command, or b) the
       MPE/XL  STORE command to store the applications on a tape, and
       then use the MPE XL RESTORE command to restore them on the new
       system.  They will run with NS3000/XL with no recompilation
       necessary in most cases.
