Use of the CCSY Knowledge Worker Solution with Banyan Vines
-----------------------------------------------------------
Various customer requests come in from time to time in regard to use of
the Knowledge Worker Solution products with Banyan Vines. The following
message explains how to run a dual network stack (Vines and ARPA) on
the PC in order to allow most of the Knowledge Worker Solution products
to work. Products that should work fine with this solution are:
HP Information Access
HP Document Manager
HP OpenMail
HP DeskManager
HP WorkRouter
IBI EDA
The only Knowledge Worker Solution product that will not work with the
dual stack is Verity TOPIC. This is because TOPIC does not use ARPA
services for PC to server communication, but instead (as integrated in
the HP Cooperative Computing Solution) uses the file sharing
capabilities of LAN Manager/X, Novell Netware, PacerShare, or NFS.
(Note that TOPIC will work with Banyan Vines, but not using a Series
800 server.)
Limitations and Disclaimers
---------------------------
o It is not possible to run both LAN Manager and Banyan Vines on the
same PC.
o It is not possible to run both Netware and Banyan Vines on the same
PC.
o It is not possible to use the Enterprise Information Server (SSP
#A2324A) with Banyan Vines. This is because HP JoinWare (required as
part of the Enterprise Information Server) must use LAN Manager/X or
Novell Netware for distributing software to PC clients.
o Although customers are actually using Banyan Vines with ARPA services
in the manner described below, CCSY has not officially certified such
use as part of the integrated CCSY solution.
o HP provides standard HP support for ARPA Services 2.1. HP does not
provide standard HP support for Banyan Vines (whether used with or
without ARPA Services 2.1).
