Adabas Conversion and Migration
The ATERAS Adabas conversion includes the generation of a new relational database to replace the functionality, multiple-occurring fields and groups, and other data element structures that are currently part of the Adabas inverted list database. The new target database can reside on the mainframe or off the mainframe, and can use any of the standard relational database management systems (RDBMS): Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle or IBM DB2.
ATERAS also handles the conversion of the applications that use the Adabas files. ATERAS can convert Natural, COBOL, PL/1, Assembler, Easytrieve, JCL and Procs for Adabas applications.
Replacement of Adabas Database Functionality
The ATERAS solution provides a complete replacement for all Adabas 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. All constraints are generated into the resulting DDL. Table spaces, indexes, table names and column names are all generated according to your naming standards. More about the replacement database functionality.
