HP e3000 MPE Migration
The Benefits of a TRANSPORT™ Migration
TRANSPORT/COBOL is much more than a simple COBOL bulk conversion process. The tools support all of the COBOL syntax, procedures, and utilities that your applications will require to migrate and run in your new environment.
A TRANSPORT™ migration, gives you:
- Accurate Translation. Migrated applications function identically to the original MPE/iX
- Accurate MPE/iX Screen Emulation
- I/O functionality - MPE compatible file and network I/O minimize required changes to source programs
- Environmentally compatible - appropriate operation and migrated software functions as if it were written for the new environment
- Complete Translation - the majority of migration activities is automatic and requires very few manual changes. If changes are required, they are made only once to the original MPE/iX source
- Fast Turnaround - the speed and completeness of the TRANSPORT™ translator permit migration of major applications in relatively short periods of time
- Independence - TRANSPORT™ does not use any vendor proprietary screens or forms management products, nor are converted programs locked into proprietary software packages
- Easy-To-Use - TRANSPORT™ handles the COBOL and environment-specific issues with very few manual changes.
The COBOL Migration Methodology
MicroFocus COBOL is used to compile existing COBOL source code for execution on the target platform. In most cases no changes are required to migrate an existing HP COBOL II application to the new operating environment.
