Switch Programming User's Guide
Chapter 1 Introduction
Through a simple STORE/RESTORE process, you can move nonprivileged MPE
V/E applications to MPE XL-based machines without modification,
conversion, or recompilation.
Once applications are on an MPE XL-based system, you can choose how to
execute them from the following four migration options involving two
operating modes (Compatibility and Native):
* Emulation (Compatibility Mode)
* Object Code Translation (Compatibility Mode)
* Partial recompilation (Mixed Modes--Compatibility Mode and Native
Mode)
* Full recompilation (Native Mode)
This manual focuses on the partial recompilation option. However, before
beginning the discussion of mixed-mode operation, it is appropriate to
give a brief overview of the two operating modes and the other three
migration options.
