How have people done Forte application to Forte applicationcommunicatio

Question

I was wondering what architectures folks have been using to do Forte
application to Forte application integration on the client and at the server
level?
connected environments?
CORBA/IIOP?
Message Oriented Middleware?

Hi,
I have used MQSeries and CICS Client. They worked well, except that CICS Client
is for little applications... Tuxedo has also good reputation.
You should also consider a lower protocol like TCP/IP. I use it in synchrone and
asynchrone to support an application protocol with external connections. It
works very well. For instance, It can be an alternative to connected
environments, even for Forte Partitions (for example : you need to connect
several thousands of Forte clients without having to maintain your central
environment).
For asynchrone communcation, and low cost and equipment (external clients, B to
B, etc...) you can also use SMTP with external connections. If you use MIME base
64, you can also transfer serialized objects for instance. Then you can use SMTP
like VMS Mailbox (in old times). Be aware, of course, that you will not have any
delivery warranty on your messages, so you should take care about this on your
protocol.
Hope this helps,
