The Question is: We have purchased a quantity of ES45 Servers running a VMS v 7.3 OS We want to have a GUI access to these servers via Microsoft Windows clients We found out that such accessibility could be provided by the PATHWORKS Kit We have been supplied with a variety of CDs that are related to the Compaq machines and to the VMS operating system, we are not sure if we were supposed to get the PATHWORKS kit with them. We found a reference to purchased licenses concerning PARTHWOKS in our stores without having the related CDs Could you kindly inform us about the procedures to check what CDs we should get based upon the contracts with the local provider? Is there a facility for us to directly contact you for inquires about technical support or being in lighted before purchasing further products as we are a significant customer for HP products (Servers, Workstations, OS..etc) with Various Enterprise sites The Answer is : You will want to use the PATHWORKS 32 client kit for the eXcursion X Windows display capabilities. PATHWORKS server (also known as Advanced Server) is required for host capabilities for Windows systems, such as print and storage services. For your stated purposes, Advanced Server is not needed. If, on the other hand, you wish to configure the OpenVMS systems to offer print or disk services, you will require the installation of Advanced Server and (likely) TCP/IP Services. The OpenVMS Wizard does not know what you have ordered, nor what you have received, and thus has no way to answer that portion of your question. Shipments will normally contain a bill of materials, of course. For details on what you have ordered, please check with your reseller. The OpenVMS Wizard would encourage you to request direct assistance from your reseller, as it appears you are unfamiliar with OpenVMS and Advanced Server -- HP or your reseller can offer you services ranging from training and software installations to on-going system management and out-sourcing tasks.
