z Systems: The Cloud has a silver lining


Sponsor: TSG

CONVERSION of old MAINFRAME 4GL’S, APPLICATION GENERATORS AND DATABASES.

TSG provides automated conversion solutions for out of date 4GL languages and database technologies, usually into COBOL for the applications, and DB2 for the databases. 

For those that are moving workload off z (L), we can also convert the databases to Oracle, SQL server, etc. . .

Our favourite conversions are from:

CA-Telon
CA-IDMS and CA-ADS/Online
Adabas and Natural
CA-Datacom and CA-Ideal
CSP
Supra and Mantis (PDM and RDM)

CA-TELON

We convert CA-Telon to a new development and code generation tool, Casegen; which provides all the functionality of Telon, but is way more elegant and much easier to use !

NATURAL and ADABAS. 

We move Natural to a new context sensitive analysis and development tool call ATP, where the developers continue to maintain the code as “Natural syntax language”, BUT, at save time, it is converted to COBOL and COBOL CICS for execution, against a DB2 database that replaces Adabas.

Assembler is converted to COBOL or C.

For CA-Endevor and ChangeMan, we convert these to a new multi-platform SCM, ISPW.
