> From: MAJ > Actually, what was the VAR's reason for switching. Mark, SB+ used to be supported for D3 so many developers created apps in D3 that integrated with SB+. When IBM withdrew support for SB+ over D3, people needed to make the decision to trash their SB+ app or to migrate it to U2 in order to continue to receive support. The VAR's reason for switching was simply that if they ever needed help, new features, or fixes, they would need to be running on an IBM database rather than one from a competitor. While this is all perfectly legal business practice, it's blatently predatory. Similarly they could have compelled U2 users to make a decision between U2 and DB2, but thankfully they didn't.
There are (at least) two products in our industry (unnamed to avoid persecution) that allow SB+ users to continue using their apps on their platform of choice (including U2) after a relatively painless migration process.
