Many applications that were developed in EGL are still mission-critical and continue to deliver significant benefits to the organizations that use and rely upon them. Nevertheless, many organizations are faced with issues of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), skills shortage, or end of support. Anubex’ service provides an opportunity to liberate these valuable and reliable business systems from their dependency on legacy technology, and transforms them to a modern technology stack.
Anubex will take any application developed in EGL and automatically transform it to a functionally identical one, now ready to run on any platform supporting the JVM.
Since both the transformation and the testing is fully automated, the outcome of the project is fully predictable, in terms of risks, costs, and duration.
All Anubex transformations ensure three types of equivalence:
Functional equivalence: the converted application’s behavior is identical to that of the original one
Performance equivalence: the converted application will perform at least as well as the original one
Maintenance equivalence: maintenance of the converted application will be - after proper training provided by Anubex - comparable in effort to the original application.
There are many good reasons to make the move from EGL to Java. These are typically the major concerns for businesses:
Anubex delivers end-to-end EGL migration solutions, in collaboration with selected partners, including support for:
The transformation of EGL happens in two stages:
1. All EGL User Interface technologies (3270, JSP, JSF) are converted to JavaScript. JSP and JSF are “split” into a JavaScript front-end component and one or more Service back-end components that may be invoked from the JavaScript.
2. All EGL programming logic (Programs, Services, Libraries...) are converted to native Java with Anubex’ CodeTurn tool.
All involved conversions are fully automated, guaranteeing code quality, avoiding risks, and offering full predictability by 100% automation. Certain aspects of JSP/JSF conversion may require manual adaptations. This work is inventoried during the pre-migration assessment, and any related cost will be included in the final project offer.
Automated conversions and manual adaptations can seamlessly integrate thanks to advanced API design and an automated workflow.
