- What other information is provided on the source system besides its Program Logic, Business Rules and Data Model?
Legacy Rejuvenator extracts information that allows the user to generate Program Linkages and Business Rule through the Modernization Console. Additionally it generates reports pertaining to physical lines of code, executable lines of code, dead code etc. of all files that it has processed.
- Is the Modernization Console a part of Legacy Rejuvenator?
The Modernization Console is a separate product in the sense that it does not install along with Legacy Rejuvenator. However the console may be requested from Legacy Rejuvenator and a one concurrent user console is included in the licensing fee paid for Legacy Rejuvenator.
- How does a user access the Program Logic, Business Rules, Data Model and Reports generated by Legacy Rejuvenator?
All the information generated by Legacy Rejuvenator is in HTML format, available to the user via a web browser.
- Can any of the information be exported into a document format?
Yes, the extracted information may be transferred to the Modernization Console where the Business Rules may be annotated, modified and exported into MS Word or a Graphics Modeling Language (GML) editor.
- Can Legacy Rejuvenator extract Business Rules in Plain English?
As presented, the Business Rules are in pseudo code format. However, in the Modernization Console, each rule name may be changed and the variables and entities may be dynamically replaced by more descriptive terminology.
- Can Legacy Rejuvenator migrate COBOL and Adabas/Natural applications after documentation?
Yes, the product automates the migration of COBOL and Adabas/Natural to C#, VB.Net, Java and CA Gen Models. However, it is recommended that EvolveWare’s Modernization Console be used to migrate the extracted information since it allows the optimization and modernization of business rules prior to migration.
- What is the level of automation provided by Legacy Rejuvenator?
Legacy Rejuvenator automates up to 100% the discovery and extraction of program logic and business rules of supported source systems. These include COBOL and Adabas/Natural. The migration is automated between 75-95%.
- What type of COBOL systems does the product support?
Legacy Rejuvenator supports COBOL/CICS/VSAM/Flat Files/DB2 applications.
- Are JCLs and Procedures (PROCs) supported?
Yes, for documentation only. Support for migration of JCLs is expected shortly.
- If a user wants to process a COBOL system, what files are required by Legacy Rejuvenator to its Program Logic, Business Rules and Data Model?
For a COBOL system the program files along with its associated Copybooks, JCL, Procs and BMS Screen files should be provided as input to Legacy Rejuvenator in ASCII text format. For more information review the Legacy Rejuvenator User Guide.
- If a user wants to process an Adabas/Natural system, what files are required by Legacy Rejuvenator to extract its Program Logic, Business Rules and Data Model?
For an Adabas/Natural system the systrans dump of that system should be provided as input to Legacy Rejuvenator. For more information review the Legacy Rejuvenator User Guide.
- Can Legacy Rejuvenator be used to satisfy legislative standards like Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and BASEL II
Yes, in so much as the product is able to extract and provide details of the rules that exist in the applications that run the enterprise operations. The format in which this information is presented may not adhere to SOX or BASEL II requirements. It is recommended that the outputs of this product be reviewed by a standards expert to ensure compliance.
- What savings can I expect in terms of time and cost by using Legacy Rejuvenator?
While this is dependent upon the scope of the initiative, it is very feasible to achieve time and cost savings of between 40-60% as compared to manual services using their established practice.
- Is Legacy Rejuvenator provided as part of a service or can it be licensed as a product?
Legacy Rejuvenator is a licensable product. Contact us for licensing details.
