What gets migrated?

Asysco Migration Technology (AMT) helps you migrate from an A-Series platform to the Windows/SQL environment. We deal with every corner of the mainframe environment: the applications, batch processing and the actual data in the mainframe databases.

Asysco converts the following for Unisys A-Series environments (among others):

• LINC,
• Workflow Language (WFLs),
• COBOL,
• X-GEN,
• ALGOL,
• Flat files, and
• Data based on the DMSII DASDL descriptions or Keyed-IO files

No changes in business rules

Of course, each of the above has different migration requirements. Which is why we have created multiple translators to handle each of them separately. All of this migration is done with absolutely NO changes to your organizations’ business logic. Your current business rules are preserved and no re-engineering is required.

Our migration technology allows your developers to maintain, enhance and create new applications in either C# or VB.NET. It handles the database commands such as Read First, Read Next and allows applications to be web-enabled, with no coding changes.

Conversions

AMT-VS (Visual Studio^®) converts:

• Online screens to ASP.NET, with AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) technology. 
• WFLs to VB Scripts.
• Indexed sequential/flat files as indexed sequential/flat files.
• The DMSII DASDL and data to MS SQL, Oracle or DB2.

Optional functions

Optionally, AMT-VS offers:

• A central location for server maintenance, job control, security, message center and performance statistics.
• A real-time query function allows queries against the new SQL based database.
• The possibility to view past transaction paths logged by users with the transaction playback function and some other operations functions.
• A deployment center allows code deployment from one build-set to another.
• A database reorganizes controller checks and maintains the correct build version as well as applying the physical changes to the database.
