Resend: MetaStage on UNIX?

Post by admin »

If I have already asked this please forgive. Sent to old Mail List last week and wasnt sure it got out:

Anyone have experiences Good/Bad/Indifferent to getting MetaStage working properly in a Unix Environment? We have the old NT MetaStage but were not ever able to get it to work successfully. We gave up over a year ago. I hear rumor that there is a newer version that runs on Unix. We have very large DS Projects with alot of Meta data. We need to get a handle on our Metadata fast and I was hoping that MetaStage has grown-up enough to handle our needs.
Thanks in advance,
Lorry

There is no MetaStage on Unix. The directory database can be anywhere you want, Oracle on Unix, SQL-Server on NT, whatever. The application is still a Windows based app that is bound by the CPU, memory, and disk of your desktop. I suggest you send your complaints on to Ascential....

lorry,
Metastage itself only runs on windows environments. The process metabroker will run on unix (since its a java class). were currently at release 2.1r5 of metastage. There is specific version for unix.

maybe if you want to email me offline I can tell you if specific things have changed.
