No.
Peoplesoft used
Informatica to import/export and move data around within their product
suite,
now they use DataStage, NOT Universe. The data is stored in Oracle or
other
RDBMS – DataStage with its underlying engine based on UniVerse of 1-2
years ago
processes the data and that is all.

So, in
simplest terms, Peoplesoft is now an MV/UniVerse like product?
(forgive
my ignorance, as I have never worked with Peoplesoft.)

migrates to Ascential
Ascential is basically VMark/Ardent. Almost all of the engineering,
sales, support
staff that were responsible for Universe up until UV Rel 9.6 work for
Ascential (myself and Glenn being two you've come to know over the
years)
When the split occurred, IBM retained the rights to sell/develop the
UniVerse
product, as well as the former UniData engineers who were trained on
the
internals of UnIverse. They now are responsible for UV releases, with
UV
Rel 10
being the first release to come from there.
Ascential also kept the rights to the source code. Internal to the
DataStage
product set (specifically what is known as DataStage Server, not to be
confused
with DataStage PX, TX, or 390) is the UniVerse engine, re-branded the
DataStage Engine. It is only available as part of the DS Server
package.
So no, Ascential is not a Universe customer. However, IBM is an
Ascential
customer and reseller. They resell the DataStage product suite.
It does increase the footprint of enterprises around the world that
have one
of those MV engines running at their site, though.

Thanks for
passing that along. Is Ascential a Universe customer of IBM's or
did they end up taking Universe and changing it so that they are yet
another
flavor of 'PICK' (not yet on my MultiValue Family Tree diagram)? If
so,
is
it now called something other than Universe? Thanks. --dawn
