VAX DBMS32 Database MigrationVAX COBOL programs typically utilise DBMS32 database system and API. DBMS32 is a CODASYL designs, which support Master-Child type relationships.SoftwareMining Converter can use the exported DBMS32 schemas to regenerate the database as a Relational Database. The Master-Child relationships are translated to "foreign-key" relationships. The system will also generate Object-Relational data access classes for each of the tables. These classes will continue to represent the Master-Child relationships as associations in Object-Oriented classes. The following diagram outlines the artefacts genrated from translation of DBMS32 tables ![]() |

VAX Screens DefinitionVAX Screens definitions are typically defined in external files. VAX COBOL screens tend to be used within Conversational programs, designed for a "client-server" type deployment. SoftwareMining converts such Conversational applications to a Application-Server architecture. The screen definitions are tranlated to XML/XSLT architecture which works with an Web-Server, to produce HTML screens at run-time. Although in HTML, The translated screens would still have a "green-screen" look and feel. As a part of an application modernization project, many sites redesign the screens to benefit from a new look and feel. |
