OUR TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES<\/h2>\n

A software migration can only be managed with sophisti\u00adca\u00adted migration tools and technologies.<\/p>\n

Our unique selling point is the consis\u00adtent appli\u00adca\u00adtion of scien\u00adti\u00adfic compi\u00ad\u00adler-building methods in the develo\u00adp\u00adment of technology and tools, resul\u00adting in a high level of automa\u00adtion. This in turn reduces the project duration, project costs and error rate in contrast to manual migration. Our tools and techno\u00adlo\u00adgies support all compon\u00adents of a migration project (program\u00admes, middle\u00adware, files\/databases, screens, job control languages etc.).<\/p>\n

Each migration project is unique. The pecBOX (pro et con \u2013 Toolbox for Software Migration) develo\u00adped by us adapts migration tools and techno\u00adlo\u00adgies quickly, flexi\u00adbly and cost-effec\u00ad\u00adtively to indivi\u00addual custo\u00admer needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

pecBOX \u2013 pro et con TOOLBOX FOR SOFTWARE MIGRATION<\/h2>\n

Software migration can only be imple\u00admen\u00adted in a reasonable way with tools which, analog\u00adous to compi\u00adler construc\u00adtion, are based on the theory of formal languages and parser genera\u00adtors. We have exten\u00adsive know-how in this scien\u00adti\u00adfic field of infor\u00adma\u00adtics and more than 25 years of work experience.<\/p>\n

The basis for all soluti\u00adons is pecBOX, which is a toolbox for software migration develo\u00adped by us:<\/p>\n

\"pecBOX<\/a>
\npecBOX combi\u00adnes our migration tools, meta tools and code genera\u00adtors. The migration tools can deal with all compon\u00adents of a legacy system. pecBOX enables us to respond quickly, flexi\u00adbly and cost-effec\u00ad\u00adtively to customer\u2019s special requi\u00adre\u00adments in software migration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Online programs in the legacy system run under the control of proprie\u00adtary transac\u00adtion proces\u00adsing monitors such as CICS, Pathway or Tuxedo. If these are migra\u00adted from COBOL to Java, the resul\u00adting Java programs need a runtime environ\u00adment. Our tool MidaS<\/strong> (<\/em>Middle\u00adware as a Service) is a light\u00adweight alter\u00adna\u00adtive compared to commer\u00adcial systems. MidaS provi\u00addes an inter\u00adface that is tailor-made for the migra\u00adted online programs and is easy to integrate into a Java server environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In legacy systems, hundreds of COBOL programs and copybooks often form an unstruc\u00adtu\u00adred direc\u00adtory struc\u00adture. These, however, compli\u00adcate mainten\u00adance jobs. JPackage<\/strong> creates a model of an effici\u00adent struc\u00adture of Java packa\u00adges in the target system. Complex, confu\u00adsing COBOL copybooks are divided into indivi\u00addual Java classes and filed into syste\u00adma\u00adtised Java packa\u00adges. In addition, JPackage removes data struc\u00adture clones. <\/strong>This reduc\u00adtion of comple\u00adxity ultim\u00adately impro\u00adves the maintaina\u00adbi\u00adlity of the migra\u00adted system compared to the origi\u00adnal legacy system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

OUR META TOOLS<\/h2>\n

The meta tools contai\u00adned in the pecBOX so to say generate the migration tools. This consider\u00ada\u00adbly shortens the develo\u00adp\u00adment time for new migration tools. In addition, already existing tools can be quickly adapted to custo\u00admer requi\u00adre\u00adments. The pecBOX includes the follo\u00adwing meta tools and code genera\u00adtors with the follo\u00adwing functions:<\/p>\n
