Brief Tool Descriptions
VX/BASIC is a full-featured VMS/BASIC to ANSI C Compiler/Transpiler®. VX/BASIC allows VMS/BASIC source code to be compiled on multiple host machines. The application can be maintained in the original BASIC language or converted into C code.
VX/FPT (FORTRAN Partner™) is a powerful suite of tools for writing, maintaining and migrating FORTRAN programs. Many of the world's leading aerospace and high technology companies use it.
VX/DataX allows users to transport data files from the VMS operating system to UNIX. VX/DataX also allows users to specify a programmable schema to convert the data to the appropriate format (DEC to IEEE, Little Endian to Big Endian, Quadword Data/Time to UNIX Date Time) for the target platform.
VX/DCL is an implementation of DEC's VMS Digital Command Language for Linux/UNIX. VX/DCL allows you to use the VMS commands that you are familiar with on Linux/UNIX systems. Your command scripts (. COM files) will run on the new platform.
VX/FMS is an implementation of DEC's VMS Forms Management System for UNIX.
VX/JSP is an implementation of the VMS BATCH & PRINT spooler, API and command line interface for Linux/UNIX. It is an add-on module for VX/DCL that provides VMS DCL functionality for Linux/UNIX.
VX/LBR Librarian callable routines.
VX/RMS is an implementation of Digital's VMS/RMS system for UNIX. VX/RMS allows VMS programs, which access RMS directly, to function without change. All VMS file types and access modes are supported. Support for relative, sequential and block mode files is supplied by direct access to the UNIX file system.
VX/RT is a collection of libraries written by Sector7 that provides the equivalent VMS API functionality on UNIX. In order for VX/RT to function, the following toolkits must also be installed: VX/DCL, VX/RMS. You may also view the VX/RT Supported VMS APIs.
VX/SMG is an implementation of DEC's VMS Screen Management Service for UNIX. Written entirely in C, it provides OpenVMS SMG functionality for UNIX based platforms.
VX/Term is a Windows® based VT220 compatible telnet client. It's a developer friendly VT220 terminal emulator.
VX/VTWin provides the capability for your applications to output VT terminal control sequences to a Windows® VT220-compatible console window at run-time, without any extra API calls or changes to your application code.
ACMS to Tuxedo Based on Sector7's experience in rehosting VMS applications, we have developed a roadmap for converting ACMS applications to the Tuxedo environment. This procedure allows the units of work from ACMS to be translated into corresponding units of work under Tuxedo, maintaining the integrity and design of the application.
Database Migration & RDBMS Migration If you are considering either a platform change, or an RDBMS vendor change, our experienced DBAs can be there to help you every step of the way. Our experience covers most of the popular RDBMS products in use.
TDMS Migration is currently supplied as an in-house service. Please contact us directly if you would like further information.
VX/COBOL is currently supplied as an in-house service to convert VAX/DEC COBOL to dialects of COBOL for use on other platforms.
VX/Cpp (VX C language pre-processor) is Sector7's automated tool for identifying flagging and correcting VAX/C source code to produce portable POSIX-compliant source code. VX/Cpp will also detect processor-specific problems and correct them ( Argument Endian issues ).
VX/MACRO is currently supplied as an in-house service to convert MACRO to C to facilitate the migration of applications to a platform that has no OpenVMS-compatible MACRO compiler.
VX/PASCAL is currently supplied as an in-house service to convert VAX/DEC PASCAL to ANSI C to facilitate the migration of applications to a platform that has no OpenVMS compatible PASCAL compiler.
VX/RDO is currently offered as an in-house service to convert embedded RDO (RDML) to SQL. Sector7 can convert RDO embedded in the following source languages: COBOL, BASIC, FORTRAN, C and PASCAL.
EDT+ is the most complete OpenVMS editor for Linux/UNIX.
Vbackup is an OpenVMS-Style Backup for Linux/UNIX.
Vmail is an OpenVMS-Style Mail Interface for Linux/UNIX.
nu/TPU is a fully programmable text editor modeled after Digital's TPU (Text Processing Utility). It includes the EVE, EDT and WPS interfaces for easy and familiar text editing across all your platforms, including all major Linux/UNIX vendors.
ActiveBatch™ V3 , the Enterprise Cross Platform Job Management and Scheduling system from Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc., is the one-stop solution to managing unattended job execution, across a variety of software platforms.
