Benefits for Adabas/Natural Applications
The Application Transparency Platform™ (ATP™) is a revolutionary Natural application and Adabas database Re-Hosting solution that provides an end-to-end strategic pathway for lower license costs, higher productivity and full preservation of your legacy assets and business rules. As an alternative to the re-engineering and conversion solutions available for Natural and Adabas, ATP dramatically reduces the time frame for the replacement cycle and accelerates return on investment.
The ATP process transforms your Adabas databases and data to the relational database of your choice—DB2, SQL Server or Oracle—and processes your Natural code applications using ATP Language (ATPL™) on Windows. It allows you to move your Natural applications seamlessly from your current mainframe environment to a more economical and more robust ATP environment thus reducing maintenance/license fees and mainframe workload. Since ATP flawlessly interprets and executes each Natural command, your Natural applications can execute against the new relational database without changes to the Natural syntax of your current applications.
In addition, ATP includes a full-featured new GUI development platform that includes Natural code analysis, flow diagramming, impact analysis, pattern matching, version comparison and interactive debugging. Your Natural development team can continue to develop and maintain your applications with the support of modern development tools.
