Transaction data. Minimal changes needed to extract and migrate with
LegacyJ to Open systems.
Consolidate COBOL and Java simplify the IT development and
deployment landscape. Organizations in existence for more than
20 years typically have a majority of their software inventories in
COBOL and are now standardizing on J2EE. This paper is an overview of
the "Extract and Migrate" opportunity.
Application
Servers and COBOL enabling legacy applications for Web Services.
COBOL web
features can run from browser integration, using web plug-ins or
exploiting enterprise Java capabilities. This paper reviews the topic
of COBOL and the Web, and
provides a few thoughts for evaluating alternatives.
Enterprise
COBOL users will recognize checklist elements:
Accessibility,
Reliability, Extendibility, Maintainability, Security, Portability
Web Enabling COBOL
being
"Enterprise Enabled" really means that the entire enterprise is connected. COBOL
is the heart and soul of most of the world's business and to "Web-enable" the
enterprise involves being able to connect COBOL to the entire enterprise (including the
web).
Future of COBOL
there is a long future ahead for COBOL. Business process logic can be
clearly expressed using COBOL syntax, and if we look "under the hood"
in most of the world's top businesses, we see that COBOL applications
are at the center.
