HCOSS makes it simple to migrate both COBOL code and data from mainframe DB2 to SQL Server. In addition, HCOSS offers an assessment tool which tells you precisely where the problem areas of code migration are, and how HCOSS can fix these problems for you.
This release provides the following improvements:
- Complete support for System.Data.SqlClient, the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server 2008.
- Usability enhancements to the Assessment Tool; various Data and Code Migration Tools.
- Support for dynamic SQL.
- Support for additional mainframe DB2 syntax which includes:
- XMLCAST specification
- Case expressions
- Date/Time directive
- OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) specifications
- Assessment Tool clearly identifies problematic COBOL SQL code for migration effort.
- HCOSS now caters for over 85% of the most commonly used mainframe DB2 SQL that would otherwise require code changes when migrating to SQL Server. In this way, HCOSS dramatically drives down costs and risks when migrating DB2 applications to Windows and SQL Server.
- Earlier time to market to ensure cost savings can be realized when expected.
