Re: Modernizing PICK applications

Tony, No, that's not what I mean.

In the PICK BASIC application that we converted, the file definitions
from the dictionary convert to a relational structure. The codes, i.e.
application logic present in the programs, some in the processes, some
even as validations in the dictionary fields then get converted to
codes in .NET or JAVA (they may go to the presentation, business or
database layer based on where they belong)

Of course, the process of converting from a MV file structure to a
relational schema is quite complicated,

Not only is having to do an "OO"-RM mapping complex, it is
unnecessary. I predict that the trend within the coming decade will be
to move more and more from relational first-normal form structures to
data structures more like Pick (e.g. XML). So, I would advise anyone
interested in modernizing their applications to talk to folks like
those at intersystems.com or sierra-brava.com who allow you to
modernize your application while retaining the all-around bigger-bang-
for-the-buck data model in Pick. Just my two cents (you can get the
10 cent version at my blog at tincat-group.com/mewsings. Cheers! --

but there is a set of logical
steps that have been implemented in our toolset that makes this
easier.

Thanks,

Excuse me, are you saying the way to modernize an MV application is to
migrate it to a relational DBMS?

Hi,

We specialise in providing application modernization services, for
multi-value applications. We do this with a robust migration
methodology, supported by automation tools that can convert to a
browser-based, n-tiered application in .NET or JAVA.

Our toolset supports various languages like COBOL, FORTRAN,
Powerbuilder, IBM RPG, PICK BASIC, Visual Basic (x) & can modernize
to .NET / JAVA supported by an RDBMS like SQL SERVER/ DB/2 or ORACLE.

We have successfully migrated an insurance application where :
Old application: (Raining Data) PICK/BASIC with D/3 database
New application: Browser-based JAVA application, with STRUTS, business
beans were deployed on BEA Weblogic & the database layer was created
with JDO (Java Data Objects) on Open Access Versant server. The RDBMS
converted to was IBM DB/2.

Pls. respond if you are looking for a solution like ours. We would
handle the entire scope of the migration project, from inventory,
planning, migration, testing & deployment.

Thanks & warm regards,
Usha- Hide quoted text -
