It looks like we my be swapping out some CA products and replacing them
with IBM 'equivalents' to save big $$. I know the success of replacing a

your experience with any of the following swaps and IBM's SMPO. Any

not for the company.
In all the places I've worked, I've only had STROBE in one shop, and as soon as
we were outsourced, the product was dropped due to cost.

Yes, for the most part most conversions are done when a client is
outsourced. If they outsource to IBM; they usually end up with all IBM
solutions. If they outsource to EDS, CSC, ACS, Sungard they usually end up
with mainly CA products. Again, no big surprise; IBM Global Services has to

I've had to perform this type of mass conversion many times for various

converted them back again for a site.
The conversion themselves are never the big issue, it's always the users and

Depends on your definition of the originating task. The ETXR runs under the

Typically all you would do in the ETXR is detach the ended task,
