Arkin Software offers complete migration solution to retire Mainfarmes and Cobol based Applications. It is a migration framework- comprising of a set of automated tools; migration methodology; and experienced consultants that facilitate factory-like precision. There are three Converter tools. (a) GUI converter converts legacy GUI into web-structure, RIA technologies or thin-client GUI, with similar look & feel. (b) Code converter converts business logic of the legacy code into equivalent java. (c) DAO converter converts Data calls into a chosen persistent framework like SPRING JDBC or JDBC. Besides these, there are two extremely important tools. (d) Analyzer: It is this tool that helps us even if there is limited or non-existent documentation and application knowledge. This tool dives through legacy code, builds metrics and relationships to help our team to size and understand the legacy complexity and accurately estimate the migration effort. (e) Traceability Generator. It maps legacy code to converted java code in a spreadsheet format. This traceability matrix serves two purposes: One is to ensure that no legacy code is missed out during conversion; and the other is to facilitate client’s internal teams to catch up with migrated Java code. Arkin Software’s unique approach to migration is architecture-centric. That means, we start with the target architecture and migrate the legacy to that target. Never one-to-one migration. Because, migrated applications must live in production for another 20-25 years, which is possible only if they are built on right architecture. Nobody likes applications that may look like Java, but stink like legacy. Cobol conversion, Retiring mainframes, Migrating mainframes, Cobol to Java, legacy modernization, migration tools

It can’t be done with Tools alone
Almost Never a 1:1 Migration
 Architectural differences between COBOL and Java
 Procedure oriented
 GUI Differences – Character / function keys based
 Restructuring of Windows Architecture (need based)
 Restructuring of Code
 Performance bottlenecks
Existence of inefficient code in legacy
languages
 SQL code in the client side
 Pure business validations in procedures
 Not following OOAD principles
 Bottlenecks in code
 Dead Code/ Unused Code
Implementation of New Features
 Security Features (coding security: Spring IOC)
 Addition of Functionalities
Legacy Concepts Not Always Map
 Liner programming
 Character user interface
 Data and process are separate
Legacy Issues
 Legacy System Knowledge – Not Available
 Tight coupling between UI & Business Logic
 Poor coding practices
Legacy Migration is:
 About retaining and extending the value of your investment
 An opportunity to align business processes more closely with new IT capabilities

How to go about?
• Perform Application Portfolio Analysis - bi-furcated by each application
– Establish complete
• inventory of legacy applications of both online & batch programs
• Application flow including of dependencies
– Identify all external integrations
• Database based / Flat file based / Message Brokers etc
– Perform Application Assessment
• Generate code metrics
• Perform run-time analysis
• Establish usage metrics
– Discuss migration objectives and Technology Choices
• Establish the dependency flow
– From lowest / independent application to highest dependent application
– Pickup the least dependent application as pilot
• Migration Choice[s]
– Independent applications  Migrate code and DB and deploy into production
– Dependent applications
• Migrate code first, keep DB as is and deploy into production
• After all applications are moved into production then migrate the DB to Oracle
