San Francisco, California: Forecross® Corporation, a legacy-to-web and XML implementation solutions company, announced today the release of its newest software product - I/O Navigator.
As part of the Forecross Convert/IDMS-DB automated legacy modernization suite, I/O Navigator completely tests all database access before and after conversion from IDMS to SQL. It verifies that all client data can be accessed correctly and navigated properly. In combination with the Forecross Data Evaluator II, which is used to verify the content of the data, this tool ensures a successful conversion of the client's schema, data, and IDMS programs.
I/O Navigator, a complex and highly automated tool, generates a schema-specific COBOL program that can be run in the IDMS environment then converted to SQL and run in the target relational environment. The generated program executes every type of access possible for each IDMS record, including all set-related accesses for record-to-record and index sets, as well as area scans. Finally, the generated I/O Navigator program generates data files for 'before and after' comparison, with audit information critical to the entire migration process.
"I/O Navigator is a great new addition to our Convert/IDMS-DB product line and it shares the strength and flexibility of the rest of the suite," commented Chuck Nelson, Director of Software Development. "It delivers early and repeatable visibility to the database access part of the migration and can dramatically decrease testing time, which is usually the biggest and costliest part of any migration project."
