Introduction
This Solutions Guide provides information on VAB applications and
enabling tools which are designed for customers using HP Corporate
Business Server systems. Included are mainframe-class applications and
enabling tools, and conversion products which can move code running on a
mainframe to an HP 9000 or HP 3000.
VAB Profiles are presented in alphabetical order. To help you locate
VAB solutions for your specific sales situation, this Guide also
provides an index of VABs grouped into the specific application or tool
areas they represent.
The range of solutions we have available to customers moving off a
mainframe is growing. This Guide highlights HP Corporate Business Server
VAB solutions available at introduction, including the HP contact names
