Migrating System36
|
|
|
Overview
Migrate System/36 applications quickly
and cost effectively to Windows, UNIX or
Linux, modernize and integrate using
INFINITE 36 software and services from
INFINITE Software. Products from
INFINITE Software are the leading legacy
migration and modernization tools for
the IBM Midrange and Mainframe markets.
INFINITE Software enjoys over 100,000
installations in 56 countries worldwide
and its INFINITE product line is used to
achieve platform neutrality for IBM
Legacy applications, a truly web-based
interface and SOA integration.
Midrange applications direct core
business enterprises worldwide and
represent a tremendous amount of
intellectual capital and resource
allocation. While these applications and
the platform they run on proved adequate
in the past, the introduction of the
Internet, newer database products and
the drive to use SOA standards now
demand a more functional,
open-environment.
Virtually all large end users and
software vendors have contemplated
possible future directions for their
System/36 applications, whether hosted
on the original 36 System or emulated in
the SSP on an iSeries. The choices
include replacement or rewriting. Both
incur time, expense and risk – three
things that most companies don’t have in
abundance. Yet the benefits of offering
platform flexibility, web access, modern
appearance and functionality and the
ability to quickly respond to customers,
vendors and partners are obvious.
What is it?
INFINITE 36 is a complete solution that
makes operation in today’s IT
environment truly possible. The
rehosting suite includes compilers,
utilities and a deployment environment
allowing RPG or COBOL to be migrated at
the source code level and recompiled
into native executables for Windows,
UNIX and Linux. The INFINITEweb tools
included provide a development
environment to customize screen design,
web deploy and integrate the legacy
application. The INFINITE BI suite makes
sophisticated business intelligence
tools available within the application.
INFINITE Software presents migration,
implementation and support services to
manage the complete project from start
to finish. Once those systems and
applications have been successfully
implemented, INFINITE Software provides
a deployment environment along with
training and assistance in utilizing and
maintaining the new tools as IT needs
evolve.
A better alternative than
redevelopment.
INFINITE 36 is the solution of choice
for system developers who want to
protect their investment in SSP-based
applications and resources. The benefits
are immediate-financially, operationally
and strategically. Migrating with
INFINITEiSeries is an attractive
alternative to the cost of major time
delays associated with rewriting legacy
applications.
|
INFINITE 36 is an SSP compatible
environment specifically
designed to allow platform
independence for legacy
applications. |
 |
|
INFINITE 36 comprehensively
mirrors the SSP operating
environment. |
|
|
|
INFINITE 36 allows developers to
offer solutions on their
platform of choice that combine
the robust functionality of
existing applications with 21st
century technologies. |
|
|
|
INFINITE 36 generates truly
native multi-platform solutions
and will enable developers to
rehost System/36 applications in
far less time than if they chose
to redevelop. Additionally,
future development can be done
on the original or rehosted
platform and existing documents
can be utilized in both
platforms. |
|
|
|
INFINITE 36 mitigates risk and
reduces day-to-day disruption of
business operations by running
the application code in a
replicated environment built to
support the existing
capabilities and add new
functionality. |
INFINITE 36 is the easiest to use,
fastest to deploy and most cost
effective method of migrating and
modernizing AS/400 applications to UNIX,
Linux or Windows. INFINITE 36 provides
the ability to reduce the number of
platforms to be supported while
protecting the investment in the legacy
code as well as the current support and
development staff.
The Infinite approach differs from other
migration products. The source code is
not changed; it is recompiled to run
native on the new platform. The INFINITE
toolset mitigates risk because the
existing source remains unaltered, data
is written directly to the new database
and current skills can be used to
maintain and support the new
applications. The application code runs
in a replicated environment thereby
making day-to-day operational
disruptions minimal.
