Welcome to IWETHEY!

New HP3000 Cognos Powerhouse Data files
So I got this HP3000 box.

Slow.

How slow is it?

Slow enough to make me long for my old piece of shit mainframe.

At least I got a network connection to it.

Yup, that them there wicked fast 10Mbit ethernet.

Of course, since the disk array on it is so slow, it can't
even fill up the pipe, so the network connection really
isn't an issue.

Goal: Pull data files off via FTP image mode, parse them. Data
file are in Cognos PowerHouse format. Seems like a header record
followed by fixed length data records.

Can anybody point me to any docs on this layout?
New HP3000 (MPE?) sheesh.
HP kicked those to the curb quite a long time ago.

Appears the last news for Cognos about Powerhouse on MPE was 2001.

In any case, the only stuff I can find even close to describing stuff:

A site which has quite a few links: [link|http://www.hp3000links.com/whatnew1.htm|http://www.hp3000links.com/whatnew1.htm]


Other than that, I can't find anything with teeth.
