Challenge: DCCA sought a triple-play migration (hardware/database/application development language) because its legacy application system, which processed 350,000 business registrations each year and shared data with the tax agency of Denmark, was difficult and expensive to maintain and enhance, and did not integrate well with new systems. Moreover, it did not share common programming languages.
Solution: DCCA engaged BluePhoenix to convert the legacy systems into Java-code on an Oracle database with the goal of maintaining the same high-level of functionality of the existing system. The project called for migration of more than 2,700 ADABAS/Natural programs with a million lines of code, and 200 ADABAS views from the OS/390 (MVS) mainframe to Oracle/Java/J2EE running on Linux. BluePhoenix utilized its highly automated tool, DBMSMigrator for ADABAS/Natural. This tool offers a complete solution for clients looking to migrate away from ADABAS/Natural, enabling migration to RDBMS/Java or RDBMS/COBOL. The solution also enables migrating ADABAS/COBOL to RDBMS/COBOL.
Benefits: "DCCA has noted a 50% reduction in application operating costs and we have achieved a return on our investment in less than one year. These savings have enabled us to accelerate the improvement of Web-enabling our services. We now provide our customers with a faster, safer registration process. BluePhoenix was the only company in the field that could offer us a fully automated conversion solution from ADABAS/Natural."
