Our Natural and Adabas Modernization solution includes the generation of a new relational database to replace the functionality, multiple-occurring fields and groups, and other data element structures that are part of your Adabas inverted list database. The new target database can reside on or off-mainframe, and can use any of the standard relational database management systems (SQL Server, Oracle, Db2, PostgreSQL). In addition to this, it also includes Automated Refactoring, which preserves the benefits of legacy Natural-based systems while empowering organizations to leverage the advantages of newer platforms, especially the Cloud. This unlocks a whole new world of quality and scalability from automated testing to quality assurance, and the ability to leverage containerized deployments and orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes.
Automated Adabas Modernization
Our Automated Adabas Modernization solution includes the generation of a new relational database to replace the functionality, multiple-occurring fields and groups, and other data element structures that are part of your Adabas inverted list database. The new target database can reside on or off-mainframe, and can use any of the standard relational database management systems (SQL Server, Oracle, Db2, PostgreSQL).
Automated Adabas Modernization provides a complete replacement for all legacy database functionality including MU and PE management, ISN usage, super descriptors, sub descriptors, and more. The resulting database is fully relational, primary keys and index definitions are automatically created, and all constraints are generated into the resulting DDL. Table spaces, indexes, table names, and column names are all generated according to your naming standards.
The Adabas data extract and relational load process is simple, straightforward, and fast. We can provide a number of extract variations for customers that have special requirements for a short Adabas data migration window. Our data migration software gives us numerous capabilities for tailoring your data migration so that the new database meets your requirements.
The Adabas database definition can be re-collected and processed through our Automated Adabas Migration software anytime throughout the project lifecycle. This prevents the need to put a freeze on changes to the Adabas structure, a huge win for critical business systems that change often.
