IDMS Redeployment
FAQ
What IDMS
programming languages do you currently convert?
We provide automated conversion (Migration) for the following
languages:
- ADSO to COBOL/CICS or
COBOL/IMS-TM
- COBOL/IDMS-DC to COBOL/CICS
or COBOL/IMS-TM
- COBOL batch or CICS IDMS to
COBOL batch or CICS SQL
- PL/I IDMS to PL/I SQL
What platforms do
you target in the Migration?
We target the mainframe environments for all of the above languages and
transaction processors. We also support mid-range and client-server
environments for COBOL batch or COBOL/CICS applications.
What databases
can you convert to?
We provide automated conversion (Migration) to DB2, Oracle, Sybase,
Informix and any other ANSI standard SQL environment.
What versions
of IDMS do you support?
We support all versions of IDMS in the Migration to SQL.
How much automation
do your products provide?
We provide up to 100% automated conversion for program Migrations. Over
the years, we have performed many IDMS Migration projects for clients in
the United States, Canada and Europe. With each unique Migration, our
products have been enhanced to increase the degree of automation
provided during the conversion. As a result, our highly automated
conversion technology provides a comprehensive and quality Migration
solution that is easily maintained by your existing application staff.
Am I able to
customize the code generated from the conversion to meet my company’s
specific standards and requirements?
Our Convert/IDMS products include a number of customization options
available that allow you to choose very specific options to apply during
the conversion. These customization options include renaming of the
programs, maps and other components, whether sections or paragraphs
should be performed, the type of error handling desired and the type of
library control cards to be used.
Do you automate the
data conversion as well?
Yes. We automate 100% of the data conversion. We will automatically
generate programs to extract your IDMS data into flat sequential files
that may be loaded by the SQL database load utility.
How long will it
take to migrate my IDMS applications to a relational environment?
The length of time to migrate any given application to a relational
environment depends on a number of factors including the number and
types of programs (e.g. ADSO, COBOL, IDMS/DC, PL/I) requiring
conversion, the number of IDMS record types in the schema(s), the
overall complexity of the code, the target environment and your
experience in the target environment, and the testing procedures used
within your organization. However, during the main program conversion
phase on a recent IDMS conversion project, we converted, clean compiled
and turned over for client testing more than 100 programs per day
to meet their business and testing objectives.
What are the benefits of
an automated Migration as compared to other conversion alternatives?
An automated Migration is the most expedient, low-cost, low-risk
conversion alternative as compared to other options. The automated
Migration generates consistent and error-free code, which equates to
predictable results, simplified testing, improved project control and a
quick project payback.
CSP Redeployment
FAQ
What
programming languages do you convert to?
We currently support COBOL/CICS. We can, however, customize the Convert/CSP-to-COBOL
conversion technology to support other languages as the need arises.
What version of
COBOL do you generate?
All environment specific implementations of the COBOL 85 standards,
including COBOL II, COBOL for MVS, COBOL 370 and LE/COBOL and Micro
Focus COBOL.
What versions
of CSP do you support?
All CSP release levels.
How automated
is the CSP conversion?
We provide up to 100% automated conversion for the CSP application
Migrations. Over the years, We have performed a number of CSP Migration
projects for clients. With each unique Migration, our Convert/CSP-to-COBOL
product has been enhanced to increase the degree of automation provided
during the conversion. As a result, our highly automated conversion
technology provides a comprehensive and quality Migration solution.
How long will
it take to migrate my CSP systems to a COBOL/CICS environment?
The length of time to migrate any given CSP system to a COBOL/CICS
environment depends on a number of factors including the number of CSP
applications (programs), number of CSP maps, the overall complexity of
the code, and the testing procedures used within your organization.
What are the
benefits of an automated Migration as compared to other conversion
alternatives?
An automated Migration is the most expedient, low-cost, low-risk
conversion alternative as compared to other options. The automated
Migration generates consistent and error-free code, which equates to
predictable results, simplified testing, improved project control and a
quick project payback.
