In order to address the needs of a company, information systems must regularly undergo major changes.
Are you changing an obsolete technical component? Expanding data structures? Deleting a utility program? Adding a multicompany or multilingual setting? We will help you carry out your project successfully.
To convert/migrate data, we use our software engineering environment Recode-Workbench which analyses, processes and assesses the system with a high automation level.
The tool proposed by MOVE Solutions is the RECODE WORKBENCH transformation workshop which offers instrumentation for mapping the perimeter to be treated, impact study, automatic renovation, automatic generation of JCL, comparison procedures, and file translators for data migration.
This workshop is based on language parsers. The entire heritage is mapped and a knowledge base is built. It contains all the cross-references between components, and goes down to the precise use of each data.
During the analysis, a set of messages is generated for each point of attention related to the transformations to be carried out. For example, each COBOL component is displayed according to its call hierarchy, even in the JAVA TP display programs.
For our ‘zone extension’ projects, we are introducing the concept of data “signature”. We materialize the semantics of a field by a letter whatever its name in the programs.
When taking care of the assets to be converted, we quickly have information allowing us to understand the architecture of the process.
