Computer Associates International Inc’s CA-Unicenter will operate under the Open Software Foundation Motif graphical user interface on Hewlett-Packard Co HP 9000 Unix systems (CI No 1,947) and includes features such as single point security; performance monitoring, which will identify bottlenecks and analyse service levels; report distribution; workload scheduling, enabling flexible batch queuing functions; tape management; user administration; resource accounting and problem management functions; Computer Associates also hopes to break into the VAX and Unix commercial market by opening up its CA-IDMS and CA-Datacom non-relational database packages and says this can be done by bolting its recompiled Unix-based CA-DB relational database onto the front of other databases, in effect making the non-relational database function as a relational one without rewriting.
