ADS/Online Conversion

With the ATERAS IDMS ADS/Online conversion, ADS/Online applications are automatically and completely converted to C# .NET or to CICS COBOL, providing functional equivalency and high speed in the new environments. The resulting C# and COBOL applications are multi-tiered, providing User Interface, Business Logic, extended Screen Edit and full-feature SQL-based Data Access layer processing.

With DB-Shuttle™, ADS/Online applications are quickly and completely converted to mainframe CICS COBOL applications, off-mainframe CICS COBOL applications, or to native C# Windows applications.

ATERAS uses DB-Shuttle to convert ADS/Online component types to the target languages. Hundreds of customization options are possible as DB-Shuttle automatically converts IDMS-based application components including process modules, maps, ADSA structures, edit and code tables, automatic editing, IDD messages, and scratch and queue processing. Former ADS/Online IDMS database access is converted to process against the relational database of your choice. See the section on the ATERAS IDMS database conversion for more information.

With ATERAS and DB-Shuttle, IDMS ADS/Online conversion is no longer a manual, time-consuming, error-prone process. The DB-Shuttle automation technology ensures the ADS/Online conversion produces a functionally equivalent, high-performance relational application every time. Your other IDMS-DC language subroutines are also included in the conversion process.

If your plans include changing the functionality or the look-and-feel of your ADS/Online applications, see our eavRPM ADS/Online modernization strategy for a fast and cost-effective way to replace ADS/Online and enhance the application at the same time.
