...Transformix  Solutions

Solutions    The Transformix solution aims to substantially reduce migration cost, time required for migration and maintenance costs by transforming corporate HP 3000 legacy systems into independent, contemporary technology platforms in the quickest and most compressive manner with minimal impact to staff and operations.
Platform support for Windows, UNIX or Linux
To rehost applications to a more modern platform can be complicated and risky endeavor. The Transformix solution includes a powerful group of programs that provides a combination of software asset transformation tools and a runtime environment for execution of legacy code currently hosted HP 3000 systems.   READ MORE   Migrating HP 3000 Applications    Migrating HP 3000 Data Sources    Migrating Programming Languages    Migrating Ecometry Surround Code    Migrating Suprtool
Migrating and Modernizing Programming Languages
Transformix provides dialog converters or transformers for programming languages such as COBOL, C and Speedware that have acceptable replacement compiler counterparts available on target platforms. Secondly, it provides programming language translators for languages such as BASIC to C, SPL to C and PASCAL to C for languages for which C is a suitable replacement. Finally, it provides like-for-for like replacements or reimplementation for tools such as BRW, QUERY/3000 and Suprtool by creating custom language translators and runtimes to mostly automate the migration of MPE/iX based software artifacts to open platforms.
Adaptive  Database Access Level™
Modern databases use industry standard programming interfaces such as ODBC, SQL, JDBC, etc.  Data access on an HP 3000 is unique and proprietary. The database is usually TurboIMAGE it is accessed using TuboIMAGE intrinsics collectively be called the TurboIMAGE API. Other proprietary file types are KSAM, MPE Message Files, MPE Circular files and MPE flat files. Moreover, programs and utilities using MPE-based data expect to be in an environment that offers labeled files and file equations. With our trademarked Adaptive Database Access Level™ Transformix adapts TurboIMAGE, KSAM and Message File programming interfaces to the leading RDBMS's of your choice.  Our  tools allow TurboIMAGE data, KSAM files and MPE Message files to be stored in the leading industry standard RDBMS’s. These include Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2 and Postgresql. Other file types are stored in the native file system of the platform. Programs can access the data in the RDBMS can either use the MPE intrinsics or native SQL for access. Moreover, at the time of migration, data types can be converted to RDBMS data types the most popular change is use of the native date type. However, even though dates can be changed from a COBOL X(6) for example to an RDBMS date type, the existing MPE/iX programs do not need to be changed. They can still refer to the data as an X(6).
Comprehensive services offerings
Providing products without services offerings to insure a successful project simply isn’t enough xformix Software has built a consulting practice over 12 years and many successful legacy migrations with specialists in all phases of the migration and modernization process.
