VTLP - YOUR MOST CONVENIENT OPTION TO DECOMMISSION CA-GEN
OVERVIEW
We are pleased to introduce VTLP (Visual Text Language Parser), (Arguably) world's first and only software that converts CA-GEN code (text PSTEP and AB files) directly to Java/c# code, which is a lot more readable and maintainable than the code generated by GEN itself. VTLP gives a clean maintainable Java code that is almost exact copy of original CA-GEN code, wrapped into modern architectures such as Spring Boot. The VTLP suite provides all necessary tools for analyzing / parsing CA-GEN Data Model, and CA-GEN Procedure Steps/ Action Blocks.
With multiple target platforms (Mainframe, Distributed Systems) to choose from, VTLP provides the best case yet to modernize your Gen application.
What is VTLP?
VTLP is suite of software application that automates conversion of legacy code in to modern platform. It is specifically designed to convert CoolGen/CA-GEN code to simple Java/c# objects. There is also a native COBOL to Java conversion utility. The converted code is clean/concise and it can be incorporated into any standard Java framework (Spring, Hibernate, JSF etc.) and SOA architecture, which forms the basis for Cloud enabling. The converted code is also freely editable and doesn't require any special skills other than standard Java.
VTLP also has comprehensive framework/APIs for3
● DB2 Data Modeling
● CA-GEN Data Modeling
● Batch Scheduling
● CICS/IMS to Webservice Conversion
● Java Proxy to Webservice
● CICS/IMS Screens to Swing Windows (or JSP)
● Gen GUI Windows to Swing Windows (or JSP)
● Data Transformation and Migration
What does it do?
VTLP follows a straight-forward logic:
● Parse and Analyze data model
● Create Java/c# objects for all Entities, Tables, Worksets
● Convert Action Blocks to maintainable Java code.
● Convert online Procedure Steps to WebService (Server Side) and Swing GUI windows or basic JSP UI (which can be customized)
● Convert client Procedure steps to Swing GUI Windows / JSP
● Convert batch Procedure Steps to server side Java objects that can be scheduled dynamically
VTLP does all this without loss of any business functionality. We also Provide support for Data base migration
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Costing depends on various factors including size of the system to be converted. VTLP re-engineering cost will not exceed an year's running cost of the cost of current Application System. Due to high degree of automation the cost will only be a small fraction of redevelopment cost. VTLP re-engineering provides more benefits than full scale redevelopment by retaining the same architecture and business flow.
TARGET PLATFORMS
Any JEE / C# compliant server will do. Java runs on every platform including Mainframe (Z/OS or Linux). Other platforms include X86_64 (Linux, Windows, Unix).
● Compatible Servers: IBM Websphere
● Oracle Weblogic
● Tomcat
● Glass Fish
● Compatible Databases: IBM DB2 Z/OS
● IBM DB2 UDB (Linux/Unix/Windows)
● Oracle
● MS SQL
How is it different from the Java code that Gen itself generates?
The code generated by CA-GEN is not easily readable/editable and it is very cryptic. VTLP gives much simpler Java code which is directly editable and easily maintainable. If gen code has 300 statements in an action diagram, the GEN generated COBOL/Java code will have about 5000 to 6000 lines of code. VTLP converted Java /C# code will have about 500 to 600 lines of code for the same action diagram.
