Wedded to Oracle
Wedded to Oracle
- We’ve gone whole hog in recording the state of things in Oracle:
- all public datasets
- all state info and diagnostics for initial data processing
- MC and data farms output
- verification of code integrity
- personnel database
- A beneficial byproduct of the years on VM was to realize that Rexx is a useful scripting language, especially for accessing Oracle (Pro-Rexx)
- we use a unix port (UniRexx) nowadays in the web server
- Most of our access based on two generic interfaces which are tailored for specific uses:
- run/daily statistics, plots, etc
- browsing datasets
