DBNTRY API Replacement Generator
Access other RDBMSs including DB2, Oracle and Sybase
Many sites have applications that access
CA-DATACOM via COBOL, PL/1 or Assembler routines via the DBNTRY
interface module. m2o has developed a utility to replace the
DBNTRY module within the existing applications to access other
RDBMSs such as DB2, Oracle or Sybase.
This utility allows users to migrate application data to other
RDBMS with minimal changes to their existing applications. All
the data currently accessed against CA-Datacom is simply
redirected to the new RDBMS.
The DBNTRY API replacement generator works by
generating a replacement module to access the new database. The
new module is generated based on a model defined by:
| |
|
 |
The existing calls in
the calling application |
|
|
The original
CA-Datacom table structure |
|
|
The new database
structure |
| |
|
Features
The Generated DBNTRY API accesses the new
database tables with minimal interruption to the existing code.
This allows users to retain their investment in their existing
code.
| |
|
|
|
New table structures
can be created automatically from the CA-Datacom BTG |
|
|
The data can be
migrated from CA-Datacom to the new structure |
|
|
The calls to the
DBNTRY program remain unchanged |
|
|
The DBNTRY code is
generated based on the CA-Datacom tables and the new
RDBMS tables, allowing some tables to be restructured |
| |
|
Benefits

migrate to a new RDBMS with minimal interruption to
their data processes |
|
|

PL/1 programs can be easily migrated to other platforms
