OpenVMS

ACE and TAO ready for use on OpenVMS 8.3 IA64.

As a result of the ongoing efforts by Remedy IT and the sponsoring by HP and BAE Systems Hägglunds AB the platform support for ACE/TAO has now definitely expanded to include OpenVMS 8.3 IA64.

This the successful conclusion of an unsponsored activity started by Remedy IT in 2004 to bring ACE up and running for Alpha OpenVMS 7.3 based on the code donated by BAE Systems Hägglunds AB.

Due to lack of sponsoring this activity was temporarily stalled during 2005 to be revived and expanded again in 2006 with the arrival of sufficient sponsoring.

The code for for the OpenVMS port has all been submitted back into the central DOC-group code archive and is available for any to use. The IA64 port will be available as part of the ACE/TAO x.6 release which will be available from here.

The future of the ACE/TAO OpenVMS port

Remedy IT is still maintaining the OpenVMS Alpha and IA64 ports and will continue to improve these ports.

To continue support for these ports as ACE/TAO evolves in the coming years (and possibly extend the port to include CIAO) Remedy IT will need additional sponsoring.

Support for ACE/TAO on OpenVMS platforms by Remedy IT is provided exclusively to sponsors or commercial support customers.
