AMXW

What You Can Do With AMXW

Code crunching automates conversion

Automatically converts MPE and compiler-specific 3GL code to work with new compilers, environments, and platforms by modifying, removing, or adding code, thus minimizing manual work.

Database capabilities afford quick migration

Migrates TurboIMAGE, Allbase, KSAM, & flat file databases to a variety of target databases & file systems (Oracle, SQL Server, Eloquence, DB2, Sybase, Informix, Ingres, C-ISAM, D-ISAM, and Micro Focus file systems).

Compatible intrinsics library leaves code intact

Supports MPE and database intrinsics, eliminating the need to modify intrinsics calls, allowing the applications to run on the new platform and access the new database or file type.

MPE shell runs MPE commands

The shell supports MPE commands & concepts. It runs MPE-specific functionality, such as JCL batch jobs, UDCs, command files, & MPE utilities (e.g. FCOPY). It also supports UNIX, Linux, and Windows native commands, facilitating a gradual transition to more native equivalencies.

MPE file support for other platforms

You can continue to use KSAM & other flat files on other platforms. AMXW migrates KSAM files to equivalent file systems or RDBMSs. It also supports the most common use of flat file access (Sequential, Temporary, Catalog, Byte stream, & Message files).

AMXW Solves the Migration Challenge

AMXW includes all of the tools necessary to rise to the challenge. It automatically converts code for new compilers, so developers don’t need to modify their MP-specific code. The combination of AMXW’s automated code conversion, MPE shell, and Intrinsics libraries gets you up and running on your new platform in no time.

With AMXW, the MPE, VPLUS, & Image intrinsic calls are unaltered and continue to function natively in the new environment without harming performance. MPE specifics, such as JCL batch jobs, file equations, JCW, UDCs, command files, & variables are all supported—allowing the MPE environment to run as is on the new platform.

: Although designed to migrate a wide variety of 3GL applications, AMXW is particularly well suited for companies that rely on HP COBOL 85 applications. AMXW automatically converts programs, including source code, copy libraries, and $include files, to work with the most popular and proven COBOL compilers, namely Micro Focus COBOL and COBOL-IT.
: AMXW easily migrates Image, TurboIMAGE, Allbase, KSAM, and flat file databases to Eloquence as well as to the most popular relational database management systems. AMXW’s target database access is very efficient, as it uses native calls while leaving TurboIMAGE and file intrinsics calls untouched.
: AMXW is capable of migrating HP e3000 applications in a fraction of the time required by other methods. In fact, code translation speeds can easily attain one million lines of code per day — all without manual supervision. In addition, AMXW’s MPE shell environment and intrinsics library allow companies to quickly run their application in the new environment without modifying their code.
