ARCAD Transformer DB

0 reviews

ARCAD Transformer DB is an automated database modernization solution for IBM i, designed to transform legacy DB2 for i databases into modern SQL-based relational models. The solution automates the conversion of Data Description Specifications (DDS), including Physical Files (PF) and Logical Files (LF), into SQL Data Definition Language (DDL) structures such as tables, indexes, and views. Modernization can be performed progressively or at scale, allowing organizations to adopt SQL at their own pace. ARCAD Transformer DB performs preliminary audits of data quality and structure, detects anomalies and programs that may cause data integrity issues, and analyzes the impact of database changes across application components. It also automates required modifications, recompilation of affected components, and, through integration with ARCAD for DevOps, deployment of the modernized database. By moving IBM i databases from DDS to SQL DDL, ARCAD Transformer DB helps organizations improve database performance, integrity, readability, and maintainability while opening DB2 for i data to external applications and modern technologies.

ARCAD Transformer Field

0 reviews

ARCAD Transformer Field is an automated refactoring solution for IBM i applications, designed to simplify and secure large-scale database field size and type changes. The solution performs impact analysis to identify all application components affected by a database field change and automatically propagates the required modifications across related programs and data. It supports common database restructuring projects such as expanding field sizes, changing field types, removing fields, and adding fields related to existing ones. ARCAD Transformer Field automates key stages of the refactoring process, including impact analysis, source code modification, compilation, test delivery, regression testing, and production deployment. Depending on the application architecture and technical debt, it can automate a significant proportion of impacted source code changes. By automating complex and error-prone database restructuring projects, ARCAD Transformer Field helps organizations reduce manual effort, minimize regression risks, maintain application integrity, and accelerate IBM i modernization initiatives.

ARCAD Transformer Microservices

0 reviews

ARCAD Transformer Microservices is an automated IBM i application modernization solution designed to transform monolithic RPG applications into modular, service-oriented architectures. The solution analyzes existing RPG code to identify business logic and automatically extracts selected functionality into reusable procedures. These procedures can then be exposed as web services, enabling organizations to reuse existing IBM i business logic within modern applications and architectures. ARCAD Transformer Microservices automates key refactoring tasks while analyzing dependencies and managing the impact of changes across the application. It enables organizations to progressively modularize legacy RPG applications without requiring a complete rewrite. By transforming existing RPG business logic into reusable services, ARCAD Transformer Microservices helps organizations reduce application complexity, improve maintainability and agility, enable integration with modern technologies, and accelerate IBM i modernization initiatives.

ARCAD Transformer RPG

0 reviews

ARCAD Transformer RPG is an automated IBM i source code modernization solution designed to convert legacy RPG IV (RPGLE) applications to modern RPG Free Form. The solution automates the conversion of RPG IV code, including calculation specifications (C), declaration specifications (H, F, D, P), and GOTO statements. It supports both individual and mass conversions, with conversion rates close to 100%. ARCAD Transformer RPG also provides a visual comparison between the original RPG IV code and the converted RPG Free Form code, helping development teams review and validate the transformation. By automating RPG modernization while retaining the existing IBM i architecture and execution performance, ARCAD Transformer RPG helps organizations improve code readability and maintainability, reduce the effort and risk associated with manual conversion, accelerate developer onboarding, and extend the life of business-critical IBM i applications.

ARCAD Transformer Synon

0 reviews

ARCAD Transformer Synon is an automated IBM i application modernization solution designed to migrate legacy Synon/CA 2E applications to modern, maintainable RPG Free Form code. The solution automatically converts Synon/CA 2E generated applications into native RPG Free Form while preserving existing business logic and application behavior. This enables organizations to move away from proprietary Synon development environments and maintain their applications using standard IBM i development tools and skills. ARCAD Transformer Synon automates key stages of the transformation process, reducing the time, cost, and risk associated with manual migration. The converted applications can then evolve independently from Synon while remaining on the IBM i platform. By removing dependency on legacy Synon/CA 2E technology, ARCAD Transformer Synon helps organizations simplify application maintenance, address skills shortages, reduce technical debt, and provide a sustainable foundation for future IBM i modernization and DevOps initiatives.

ARCAD API
